The Sox asked the Tigers for two players on their big league roster; with lefthander Mike Maroth due to return soon from a rehab stint, the Tigers have a surplus of arms. Among the pitchers the Sox may have asked for were starters Zach Miner and Wilfredo Ledezma and lefthanded reliever Jamie Walker.

The Sox GM must of been on drugs!
