Most Red Sox fans are going to love this move. This baseball team is going no where fast so there is no reason to retain veteran players when they can:

A.) Help someone else playoff push
B.) The team has prospects (In this case Ryan Lavernway) who the fans want to see play and get Major League experience now.

Get excited Red Sox fans! This team actually did something for the future!
