Report: Sox acquire Kotchman for LaRoche
According to Tom Caron on NESN, the Red Sox have acquired Casey Kotchman from Atlanta for Adam LaRoche. As Kotchman strictly plays first base -- and the apparent point of unloading LaRoche would be to free up playing time at first base for Victor Martinez -- one might think that this could be a precursor to another deal, and that Boston might not be Kotchman's final landing place. Stay tuned.
