What was the last trade of player(s) directly between the Red Sox and Yankees?

I think it was when the Sox traded Mike Stanley to the Yankees.  They got Tony Armas Jr. back (who was later part of the trade for Pedro).  I would say this was around 1997.  I can't think of any others since then.

As a member of Red Sox Nation, I am fed up with the middle relief.  The only ones that can be trusted now are Delcarmen and Timlin.  Taveras, Foulke, Seanez, and Riske are just plain bad.  Bring up Hansen.  Trade for some middle relief help from a bad team.  Something NEEDS to be done.

i don't like the trade.\nshelton might just slow down.\na-rod is having a so so year.\nbeckett is pitching well. you don't know when one of your starting pitchers will go on the DL.\ntejada will have a good season again. there is not that many quality shortstops out there.

The Washington Nationals really need to figure out who they want to build around.  They made a mistake with trading for Alfonso Soriano.\n\nThey should trade him back to the Yankees for Jaret Wright who was with the Atlanta Braves.  Why?  The Yankees need a bat in the line up to replace the loss of Matsui, and the Nationals need a proven arm in their rotation.  Actually I would make it Carl Palvano or Jaret Wright. \n\nThey also need to build around their third baseman because anytime you mention Mike Schmidt and Scott Rolen in the same sentence when refering to a third baseman...you make him a pillar on your team.

It's doable, depends on your preference.  HOWEVER, you might have to drop one player because of the roster size.  In that case, it makes the trade unacceptable.  \n\nWhy?  There is no chance Chris Shelton could hit .400 and 100 HR (as this pace).  If he hits .310 and 30 HR this year, that means from now on he will only have .285 AVG and 20 HR.  That's not good fantasy stats.  If you do this trade, you end up get a worse pitcher and a so-so hitter, but you still have to drop someone.  Not a good deal.

Babe Ruth played for both the Red Sox and the Yankees, as did Roger Clemens and now Johnny Damon plays for the Yankees.  They don't care.  It's just business.

First of all, you could have read the Boston Herald wrong. On the Astros website I saw a player named Chad Qualls. But it could have just been a typo. Also, this does not just happen in Boston where sports writers say something about trades or free-agents that didn't happen. But most general managers would not go out and say that they did talk to the Red Sox, they consider that confidential. This is a RUMOR. And it really could have happened. But either way, it's nice to know what could happen to your team, so rumors aren't always terrible. The Astros denied it, but the odds are that they probably did talk to the Sox.

C is OK, could do better .\n1B Solid \n2b Solid\n3b is OK but look for a Free agent like E. Encarnación \n(Cin - 3B) or R. Zimmerman (Was - 3B)\nSS use Tejada to trade for OF help ONLY if you could pick up the following FA's H. Ramírez (Fla - SS) or J. Hardy (Mil - SS) or O. Cabrera (LAA - SS) \nOF the only one that is a keeper is J Dye, T hunter is at best a UTL.Drop Edmonds.\n\nSP are solid with Beckett and Martinez, glavine is OK but not great.Get rid off of Sosa and Cotts. Put Sabathia in the DL. Keep for now Weathers and Turnbow.\n\nBench keep Wilkerson drop liberthal and womack.\n\nLook for the following closers in Free agent pool:\nFLA- RP M Herges, J. Papelbon (Bos - SP,RP), T. Worrell (SF - RP), F. Rodney (Det - RP),D. Báez (LAD - RP)he's the new closer as Gagne is out for a while.\n\nLook for the following player to help your OVERALL team: \nC. Shelton (Det - 1B),J. Willingham (Fla - C), J. Barfield \n(SD - 2B), E. Loaiza (Oak - SP),J. Suppan (StL - SP),K. Greene (SD - SS), P. Wilson (Hou - OF),J. Burnitz (Pit - OF),R. Ibañez (Sea - OF).\n\nHere's what other owner got for TEJADA on an ONE-4-ONE deal:\nM. Tejada (Bal - SS) for Mi. Cabrera (Fla - 3B,OF) \nM. Tejada (Bal - SS) for G. Sheffield (NYY - OF) \nM. Tejada (Bal - SS) for J. Pierre (ChC - OF) \nM. Tejada (Bal - SS) for A. Ramírez (ChC - 3B)\n\nif not try to package Tejada and Beltre or Tejada, Beltre, and Glavine.\n Hope this helps.

Red Sox. The pitching is so much better for the Sox. Josh Beckett and Kirt Schilling are the best pitching duo in the leauge. The Yankees have Randy Johnson, but everyone else just seems to get hurt. Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz arent to bad either.

Let me get it straight, u gave:\nAlex Rodriguez, Paul Konerko, Marcus Giles, and Jorge Posada.\nU got:\nAlbert Pujols, Chone Figgins, and Brad Lidge.\nFirst of all, u should of given away Ramon Hernandez while he's hot and kept Posada. Then Pujols is worth A-Rod.Konerko, Giles, and Posada r a little bit better than Figgins and Lidge but considering u desperatly needed a closer, the trade for u was Good, nit very good, not great but good. at least not as terrible as everyone else said.

Not a horrible trade. If I'm going to protest a trade, there has to be clear evidence of collusion or someone fleecing an inexperienced player. I don't see either of those things here. Yes, Young is probably one of the best shortstops in the game right now, but Rios's stats are pretty solid as well. I doubt he'll keep them up, but you never know. Young will hit more homers as well, if that's what you are worried about. It's not necessarily a deal I would make, but it's not so uneven as to cause a big red flag. You will never get a perfectly even trade.

Many have the important details:\n\nThe trade/sale of Babe Ruth from the Sox to the Yanks and the resulting curse\nThe careers of DiMaggio and Williams\nthe 1978 comeback of the Yanks resulting in the one game playoff, won by the Yanks and Bucky "F____" Debt\nThe Red Sox finally reversing the curse in 2004\n\nThere's so much rich history here.

Before the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, the Sox’s main rival team was the Boston Braves, their cross-town rivals. Both the teams consistently fought for their paying customers. The fortunes of the Red Sox took a drastic turn when Harry Frazee, the owner of Red Sox sold George Herman Ruth to sponsor his girlfriend’s show traded Gorge Herman Babe Ruth. The trade went on to become known as the "Curse of the Bambino." This was also marked the beginning of the most heated rivalry between the Yankees and the Red Sox. From 1919 until 1932, the Red Sox won 818 games and lost an incredible 1,312 for a winning percentage of .384. To add more to this, the Sox ownership continued to sell their star players to the Yankees. Eventually, the Red Sox reached on the verge of becoming a New York minor league team. Yankees vs. Red Sox went on to become the Greatest Rivalry in Sports because it contained every element required for a great rivalry.

think of it like this, is Carlos Lee worth trading for Roy Halladay? Is Carlos Lee worth trading for Kevin Millwood? Well you better have a good Outfield and need some pitching to accept this one

Awesome trade! Andrew Jones is an amazing hitter. If you watch the way he swings you can tell this guy's great. In my mind Andrew is one of the best players in the leauge and getting him for Casey Blake was a total steal. Awesome!
