Nearing the trade deadline, the Boston Red Sox battled the Chicago White Sox in their third of a four-game series in Fenway Park last night. Big players with no-trade clauses are deciding whether or not to waive that technicality based on the performances of their possible destination teams. With the Red Sox in double-digit deficits in the American League East division and the A.L. Wild Card races, the team couldn’t afford another bad loss against another struggling team like the White Sox. Instead, over 37 000 people in the stands and the millions watching at home, including those trade targets, saw the Red Sox get pounded around the field while their bats stayed quiet.
