Steve Phillips is reporting the DiamondB's (Ed. Note: I refuse to call them the D'Backs. If they didn't want such a long name, they shouldn't have chosen it.) are in talks with the Red Sox to trade Eric Byrnes for Julio Lugo.
It was previously reported the D'MondB's were interested in Wigginton as an option at second base. But while Wigginton is cheaper, Lugo is always down for a scrap.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
