Wow. That didn't take long. Mere seconds after my response to Lehr's post, the Josh Bard issue is resolved... Doug Mirabelli starts tonight for the Red Sox. One down, three to go.
What's great is that they didn't overpay to get him back. They traded Bard, Cla Meredith and cash for Mark Loretta. Still a good deal. When you tie up the Crisp deal that netted Bard in the first place, you send Andy Marte, Kelly Shoppach and Guillermo Mota out, and bring Coco Crisp, David Riske and Mark Loretta in. This is the first time since its inception that the Marte deal has made sense.
