Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports (via Twitter) that Bill Hall is part of the
package going to Boston for Kotchman. Hall hit .201/.258/.338 in 365 plate
appearances for Seattle and Milwaukee last season. Hall has a career .810 OPS
against left-handed pitching and can play third base, shortstop and in the
outfield, making him a good reserve option for the Red Sox bench. Hall is due to make
$8.4MM next season, but as WEEI's Alex Speier notes, Boston might actually save
some money on the trade provided that the M's sent along the cash they received from
the Brewers when acquiring Hall last season.

Nice pickup for them. They sure are getting busy this offseason.
