Cliff Lee signing helps shape AL East
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, MLB,
What does Cliff Lee signing with a National League team mean for the American League East? A lot, actually.

Sources say Adrian Gonzalez traded to the Boston Red Sox

Reportedly, San Diego Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez will be going to the Boston Red Sox in a trade that would bring back minor league prospects to the Padres. Gonzalez, an All-Star and Gold Glove winner, has long been coveted by Red Sox GM Theo Epstein, who has attempted to trade for Gonzalez previously. Gonzalez will instantly move to the middle of the line-up and should be a big-time run producer because of his ability to go yard, draw walks and get on base, and hit for a hgh batting average. Removing himself from the cavernous depths of Petco Park to the cozy confines of Fenway should increase his statistics to some significant degree.
