ADAMS HEADS TO BEANTOWN

The Boston Red Sox acquired pitcher Terry Adams from the Toronto Blue Jays for third baseman John Hattig.

What does it give the Boston Red Sox
The Sox have had their eye out for an extra setup man to share duties with Mike Timlin and Adams can do just that. After a rough start, he's been very reliable in late relief this year, as he has throughout his career.

What does it give the Toronto Blue Jays
Hattig hasn't been considered a significant prospect in the past, but the young third baseman is having a strong year at Double-A and is climbing up the ladder. He has just the skills the Jays like: he hits for average, gets on base and has some power.
