Red Sox Trade LaRoche To Braves

Via Sox and Dawgs Inactive  |  July 31, 2009
The Boston Red Sox are staying busy as they have traded newly acquired first baseman Adam LaRoche to the Atlanta Braves for first baseman Casey Kotchman. I’m not sure what this does for the Red Sox but could a bigger trade be in the works? Just 30 mins to go.

Braves Trade Kotchman for Adam LaRoche

Via BravesBlast  |  July 31, 2009
Adam LaRoche is coming home. LaRoche, who was just earlier this month traded from the Pirates to the Red Sox, has been swapped straight up for Casey Kotchman, it appears. If you’re wondering how this trade stacks up, it’s about a straight up deal, if that. Casey Kotchman hits for a higher average and has [...]

Kotchman for LaRoche

Via Baseball Musings  |  July 31, 2009
The Red Sox just traded Adam LaRoche for Casey Kotchman, according to NESN. The Braves get LaRoche back. Maybe they were sorry they let him go? I’m not sure this really improves either team. LaRoche has more power. Maybe there’s another deal in the works. Kotchman gets on base [...]

Reports are that the Atlanta Braves have traded their current first baseman, Casey Kotchman, to the Red Sox for their former first baseman, Adam LaRoche.

Trade Deadline: Boston’s Revloving Door At First; Martinez In, LaRoche Out

Via The 3rd String Safety  |  July 31, 2009
Victor Martinez was one of the few premium bats available in this trade crop and he is now going to be the everyday first basemen for the Boston Red Sox. Martinez adds a ton of pop to a lineup that doesn’t have a lot of it right now. Jason Bay has slowed down after a crazy first half, David Ortiz is a shell of his former self and Dustin Pedroia is not the player that he was...

The 2009 Trade Deadline was a busy one, and in this slide show I'll recap all the trades that went down during the 2009 season. There's the blockbuster moves like Matt Holliday heading to St. Louis and Adam LaRoche heading to Boston.

New York Mets Move To Stand Pat

Via Bleacher Report  |  August 01, 2009
