Nomar traded for Edwards
Mere hours after declaring John Edwards his Vice Presidential running mate, it appears that the Presumptive Democratic nominee, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, has traded Edwards to the Boston Red Sox for shortstop Nomar Garciaparra. Red Sox General Manager Theo Epstein ( called the trade, "a much needed move" that will "add some depth to this ball club." The Red Sox hope that Senator Edwards can provide a better defensive option at first base and reduce costly errors that have found them on the losing end of ball games recently. Epstein also hopes that Edwards positive attitude will make him "a good guy to have in the clubhouse."
Boston sportswriters and sports broadcasters cheered, as Nomar Garciaparra, once a fan and media favorite, has lost a good deal of popularity. "We finally got rid of that lazy bum," said one broadcaster, who wished to remain anonymous. "I mean we don't need no good for nothing, ungrateful ball players here in Boston. So what if the Sox tried to trade him over the winter." The broadcaster then started to hyperventilate.
It is not immediately known whether Garciaparra will stay on to fill the ticket for Senator Kerry, or be traded to the Republicans for John McCain. McCain, however, has indicated that he will not waive his no trade clause.
