Pena traded

The Red Sox just announced they traded outfielder Wily Mo Pena and cash considerations to the Washington Nationals for a player to be named later.

With Clay Buchholz added to the roster to make a spot-start today, the club needed to make a roster move, so Pena has been shipped to the Nats. Buchholz will be optioned back to Pawtucket after today's game, and it's expected Jacoby Ellsbury will be called up from the PawSox.

Pena was hitting .218 with five homers and 17 RBI in 73 games for the Red Sox this season.

So long, Cerrano! Maybe Jobu can help you hit a curveball in the nation's capital. Please, don't use a live chicken!

Finally! THe Nats must be crazy to trade for him or maybe they just want to unload the player to be named later. Willie No Mo was the most inept batter and fielder I have seen in my over 50 years as a Red Sox fan.

Adios Mo! Too bad the Sox didn't give up Drew with you as well. Maybe we could get food stamps for the two of you.
