ESPN.com is reporting (from an ESPN Radio station in Boston) that the Red Sox have acquired Javy Lopez on waivers from Baltimore.
The Red Sox will be without Jason Varitek for the next 4-6 weeks.
Waiver claims are made in reverse order of the standings and starting today, the Yankees were .002 ahead of the Red Sox, so they could not block the deal if they wanted to.
Then again, I don't know which day they go by.
But it makes for a nice headline doesn't it?
And the Red Sox already have a pitcher named Javier Lopez.
