Red Sox Make Final Push for Padres Pitcher Before MLB Trade Deadline originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With the arrival of the MLB's trade deadline day, there are still a handful of expected moves out there.

Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has developed a reputation around the league as being tough to negotiate with, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.

TRADE: The Red Sox have made a deadline deal, sending minor-league infielder Blaze Jordan to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for 34-year-old pitcher Steven Matz. The Cardinals officially announced the move Thursday morning. The veteran lefty worked out of the bullpen in St. Louis, but has experience starting games.
