Red Sox claim Brian Giles. Update: Giles blocks trade.

We have 48 hours to work out a deal. Interesting... Do we really want him, or is it just a block? Giles still has veto power.

If we get him, our outfield would be very crowded

I'm assuming it's a block to keep him out of Tampa.

Just saw that. I can see why he doesn't want to shorten his playing time. But he might regret the decision if we win the series.
