Stefanic and Nunez Dealt: You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you find a deal anyway. The Baseball News Network is reporting that Boston and Baltimore have made a swap with 21-year old minor league RHP Sem Robberse, 25-year old minor league LF Ruben Cardenas, 27-year old minor league 2B Michael Stefanic, 25-year old minor league LF Matthew Fraizer, and 26-year old minor league RHP Zach Haake being shipped to the Orioles and in return the Red Sox would get 22-year old minor league SS Nasim Nunez.
Boston general manager Jim Furtado said the two sides were close to a blockbuster trade before agreeing upon a smaller scale transaction.
"This is just a bit of housekeeping compared to what we wanted to do," he said. "I won't name names, but the potential deal we were close to making would have certainly grabbed some headlines."
A source inside the Boston organization said the two sides might not be done dealing, and another transaction could be in the works.
