mlbtraderumors.com says that it could be:Red Sox get Dye, White Sox get Turnbow, guessing a prospect too, Brewers get Okajima

What is actually said is ...- "Whether Okajima would've ended up with the White Sox or the third club is unknown, but Chicago makes the most sense....Of course, the Red Sox refused to give up Okajima to get Dye. Meanwhile, Buster Olney reported that the third team was the Brewers. RotoWorld speculated that the Red Sox may have been trying to get Derrick Turnbow from Milwaukee. The White Sox might've been eyeing Turnbow as well. Kenny Williams is also known to like Manny Parra. "

Why would BOS trade a lights out reliever for an OF they don't need?

[bklynbrewcrew]

Probably because JD Drew kind of sucks.

[dadofandrew]

Drew is a .400/.500 guy, so he's an outstanding player. He is not hitting for much power this year, so I would say it's likely he's not 100% physically.

JD has and never will be 100% physically.

"Drew is a .400/.500 guy, so he's an outstanding player."

 

Not anymore, Al.

 

Boras got him his infamous "out-clause" megadeal, and he's set for life. I can't see him as a .900 OPS guy ever again, do you? Honestly?

So does the Red Sox deal today being announced make this all impossible to happen? Did it ever mention who the Red Sox were sending to the White Sox in the rumors today?
