Red Sox DFA Mark Kotsay



3:55pm: Mike Petraglia of WEEI.com says Kotsay was designated for assignment, not waived. This gives the Red Sox ten days to make their next move.

2:17pm: The Red Sox put Mark Kotsay on waivers to make room for the recently-acquiredAdam LaRoche, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe. If no team claims Kotsay within 48 hours, the Red Sox can release him or assign him to the minor leagues. The 33-year-old has an OPS of .615 in 27 games at first base and as an outfielder.

 

It's unfortunate, especially when you got a class act like Kotsay. Lets just hope Laroche performs.

Dissapointed

I knew it was coming when LaRoche came in, but it’s going to be hard to see Kotsay go. He’s done well everywhere the Sox put him. He’s played with injuries,and done all the Sox have asked of him, but I guess it’s time to go.

This was an obvious move.

Sorry, Mark, but the offense just isn’t there. =(

Sox need a hitter (s)
