Catching Options Become Fewer

Texas Ranger's catcher Gerald Laird has been traded to the Tigers, and as Sox and Dawgs points out that makes it very unlikely that the Red Sox will be able to get Teagarden or Saltalamacchia. Tek may have made the right choice declining arbitration as the Red Sox now have limited choices behind the dish. The Sox may now be looking at Mike Napoli or Jeff Mathis from the Angels.
