Red Sox Release Chris Duncan

By Tim Dierkes [August 20 at 11:24pm CST]

The Red Sox released outfielder Chris Duncan, according to Dan Barbarisi of the Providence Journal. Duncan came to the Red Sox from St. Louis in the July 22nd swap for shortstop Julio Lugo. Duncan, 28, hit just .188/.255/.294 in 92 Triple A plate appearances for the Sox. Meanwhile Lugo has flourished with a .319/.367/.528 line in 81 plate appearances for St. Louis (with Boston paying the freight). Keep in mind that the Red Sox are also set to receive a player to be named later or cash as part of the trade.

 

I say we offer him a massive contract if Daddy Duncan promises to retire :D)

Good trade Boston, you idiots.

Good trade Boston, you idiots.

 

The Red Sox were ready to dump Lugo and eat the remainder of his salary, so that parts irrelevant.

Oh God, now the Cardinals are gonna sign him and we'll watch him hit .320 with 40hr and 120rbi the rest of the season #-o
