Bye Bye Red Sox need for catcher

Per Rotoworld.com
The Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox and Diamondbacks "clearly feel there is a fit" for a Miguel Montero trade and speculates that "it is only a matter of finding the right match."
According to the newspaper, "the Diamondbacks are seeking only a comparable prospect in return" for Montero, which seemingly differs from a Boston Herald report Monday that suggested Arizona had asked for "Michael Bowden and/or Daniel Bard." If acquired, Montero would likely platoon with Josh Bard and signal the end of Jason Varitek's time in Boston.
I assume though that they'd love to have Salty, but it doesn't appear it's going to happen. JD sucks.

good god, man
a) this has been covered extensively in the daily thread
b) the article actually says that Varitek and Salty are still very much options
c) a separate article out of AZ makes it sound like very little has changes in their discussions, and no progress has been made

Jeez, Clark.
no need to be snarky just because of the Young imbrolio [sic]. This too shall pass.

I don‘t know you who you are. I don‘t know what you want. If you‘re looking for me to be a man and move to third base for the good of the team, I can tell you, I don't have man parts. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills acquired over a very long career of secretly being a pretty huge douche. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you trade me now, that will be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don‘t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will throw a gigantic hissy fit in the media.

The wife wants to check it out
I doubt we’ll make it to the theaters though. With The Wrestler and Slumdog and a couple others higher up on the list, we just don’t go to the movies that much. We always plan on it, but then another w/e flies right on by.
It does look a little corny, but I will prolly enjoy it. Mock away.
Nah, noob.

as a question
how long ago was this a blurb with the globe?
The Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox andDiamondbacksRangers “clearly feel there is a fit” for aMiguel MonteroJarrod Saltamacchia trade and speculates that “it is only a matter of finding the right match.”
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

Wow, a dumb diary about shit that's already been discussed all over AND a misleading title! It's a double whammy!!!

I personally appreciate new threads being created over topics that are distinct rather than in the middle of a 200 response thread that covers 14 different topics and always ends in half the group commenting about JD being great, and the others saying he sucks.

Yeah
But this one in particular is about nothing.. When I read it, I thought Boston had aquired a catcher.

Yah, the title was/is my problem.
Shit gets re-discussed all the time and it’s not really a big deal at all. It’s annoying, sure. But it happens and I do try not to be a dick about it.
But the fact that diary made it sound like something had actually gone down was pretty aggravating.
If he’d just added a question mark or something I would have simply rolled my eyes and let this weak shit pass, but since he didn’t I had to place my hands firmly on my man-hips and make a stand against this suck.
Standards, people.
We need them.

Theres nothing wrong with making a diary about it
but the title that makes me think it was a done deal is a little annoying.
the preceding post was a great success.
