<p>Needing to figure out if they're playoff contenders or trade deadline sellers, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.overthemonster.com/">Boston Red Sox</a> made a small move Tuesday, as they made a move for left-handed reliever <span>Craig Breslow</span> in a deal with the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.azsnakepit.com/">Arizona Diamondbacks</a>. <a href="https://twitter.com/Gambo620/status/230376513000845312">The deal was first reported by John Gambadoro</a>, a talk-show radio host in Phoenix, <a href="https://twitter.com/Gambo620/status/230376676125720577">who also reported</a> the Diamondbacks received outfielder <span>Scott Podsednik</span> and reliever <span>Matt Albers</span> from the Red Sox.</p>
<p>Breslow is a lefty reliever who did spend the 2006 season with Boston. This season, the soon-to-be 32-year-old has compiled a 2-0 record with a 2.70 ERA.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the right-handed Albers had similar numbers (2-0, 2.29 ERA) with the Red Sox, while Podsednik has played just 19 games at the major league level this season. Podsednik <a href="https://twitter.com/Gambo620/status/230379564818382848">is expected to be sent down to the minor leagues</a>.</p>
