How bizarre that the Rockies would not allow a physical to be done , they have to have one anyways before the deal can be completed.
Report: Red Sox deal for A's pitcher Rich Harden fall through, source says - ESPN
UPDATE: The deal was killed by Harden's medical history. According to an MLB source, the Red Sox pulled the plug after reviewing Harden's records and coming to the conclusion he would not be able to get through the season.

Bummer. I looked at the log of his five starts this month and four were good ones. I had already penciled him in for ten starts. Looks like Miller gets more chances to stay in "the bigs".
Ultimate Astros » Astros upheaval continues as Bourn traded to Atlanta
Astros trade Michael Bourne to Atlanta for outfielder Jordan Schafer, lefthander Brett Oberholtzer, righthander Paul Clemens and righthander Juan Abreu. The Stros have now divested themselves of anyone that I have head of except for Humberto Quintero, long time mediocre catcher and Carlos Lee and his $18.5 million per contract.

MLB Network also stated Bedard is a Sox
Other moves not mentioned here today:
Derek Lee went to the Pirates
Ludwick went to the Pirates
Orlando Cabrera went to the Giants
Bourn goes to the Braves
Mike Adams to the Rangers (probably the best reliever in baseball)
Furcal to the Cards
The Pirates get two middle of the order bats in Lee and Ludwick. Who would have predicted they would be buyers at the deadline?

From Buster Olney: 3-team deal Bedard for BOS: Federowicz, 2 other minor leaguers to LAD, Trayvon Robinson, Chih Hsien Chiang to SEA for Bedard,Fields
Treyvon Robinson is one of the Dodger minor leaguers. He was traded to the Sox and the Sox then turned around and traded him to Seattle.
Check out Eric Bedard's log for sixteen starts this year. He could easily have gone 13-3 for the Red Sox with their typical run support.
Not sure if this trade will really help the Braves enough but they gave up little for Bourne. Good job Frank Wren.

As a die hart Mets fan and consequently, a watcher of NL East baseball Phils are in trouble .... if you think Bourn ran in Houston, that was nothin.
With Buchholz quite possibly shut down for the year, it's too bad the Sox couldn't have landed BOTH Bedard and Harden (if he was somewhat healthy). That way, they could have increased their chances of capturing lightning in a bottle over the next two plus months.

Still, they have Lackey, who is physically sound, looking almost serviceable as a third starter, and if starters start falling by the wayside, they can start Aceves, Millwood, Weiland and now Bedard. That's not a bad situation for contingent fifth starters.
Yup, the Rangers put the rest of the AL on notice with their revamped bullpen.
The last I heard, Ludwick was headed to Cleveland. Wow, the Pirates really helped themselves this afternoon!
ESPN's report of the Bedard trade furnishes a link to the wrong Josh Bedard. The one the Red Sox got is a minor league pitching prospect. The one they linked is a young third baseman.
