BOSTON -- As Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski held court with reporters Monday, the phone in his pocket buzzed.
"That could be a trade right there, I don't know," Dombrowski said with a smile. "It's that time of year. That's what makes it interesting and fun."
With one week remaining until the Aug. 1 non-waiver Trade Deadline, Dombrowski might be a little more relaxed than in most years.
He already made three significant deals between July 7-14, acquiring Aaron Hill, Brad Ziegler and Drew Pomeranz.
The longtime executive feels that he is dealing from a position of strength this trade season.
