Traber in the fold
The Red Sox have added a left-handed reliever with Major League experience to the fold, signing Billy Traber to a Minor League contract that includes an invitation to Spring Training.
The signing was reported by the Boston Globe. The Red Sox announce all their Minor League free-agent signings in bulk, and will likely do so in the next few days.
Traber could find it hard to make the Major League roster, considering the Red Sox already have two quality lefty relievers in Hideki Okajima and Javier Lopez. Traber posted a 7.02 ERA in 19 outings for the Yankees in 2008, spending most of the season in the Minor Leagues. His career has been split between the Indians, Nationals and Yankees. In 95 career appearances -- 28 of them starts -- Traber is 12-14 with a 5.54 ERA. He is 29 years old.

Well there aren't any rumors Boston that interested in Peavy, most likely he won't go to Boston cause his trade clause. Better luck with Tex (if any)
