Red Sox get Paul Byrd
August 2008
Red Sox have confirmed the signing of veteran right hander Paul Byrd from Cleveland Indians. After struggling at the beginning of the season, Byrd had picked up his game and has been on a roll lately for the Indians. Red Sox signed Byrd after Tim Wakefield was put on the disabled list. The Red Sox are currently involved in a cat and mouse battle with Tampa Bay Rays for the top spot in the league and Byrd would have to make his debut in the thick of all the action that has been going on. Byrd says that he is up for the challenge and the pressure is only going to get the best out of him.
