CLEVELAND (AP) - Coco Crisp is finally bound for Boston after he
was traded Friday by the Cleveland Indians to the Red Sox to replace
Johnny Damon as their center fielder and leadoff hitter.
Crisp's departure has been rumored for more than a week, but the
deal was first held up by medical questions Cleveland had about
reliever Guillermo Mota, and then was delayed by a trade between the
Indians and Philadelphia Phillies.
When it all shook out, eight players - and maybe a ninth - were
moved by three teams and the Red Sox gave the Indians at least $1
million. Commissioner Bud Selig had to approve the deal before it
could be announced.
