As of right now, it is 4PM ET. There have been no confirmed deals from the Sox, and none of the rumor mills have anything big in the works. If this is how The Deadline ends, I don’t like our chances down the stretch. I’m keeping my fingers crossed…

Update:
So Theo’s made it official, no big deals were completed. While I understand the decision not to sell the farm, I’m just worried that we may be losing our chance at taking the AL East considering that we’re in first place with about 60 games to go. I guess the best term to describe the past 24 hours is “frustrating.” After watching the Yankees steal a good bat, and decent starter we’re left twiddling our thumbs. If Boomer is our big pickup (and I mean big) he better look like the Boomer of old, not the Boomer who refuses a rehab assignment and throws batting practice during the first few innings instead.

A big thanks to Joy of Sox for posting updates more often, and faster, than boston.com. With SoSH shut down for non-members, it was far and away my best source of information throughout the day.
