Kotsay to Red Sox

The Braves have traded Mark Kotsay to the Red Sox for Luis Sumoza. Kotsay is having his best season since 2004, his onbase percentage is .340 but he has not hit for power. This move comes one day after J.D drew was put on the 15 day DL.

Kotsay did waive no-trade rights, and received $325K to do so.

Sumoza, a 20-year-old, hit .301 in 51 games for Class A Lowell of the New York-Penn League this season.
