AJP's moral scruples against taking a walk made him unacceptable. Good riddance.RedOctober3829 said:

A.J. Pierzynski still owed $3.67 million, but it was a sunk cost.
Yazdog8 said:Not much trade value for an aging catcher who can't hit or play decent D. DFA was the right move. Excited for Vasquez.
At the very least, RDLR will be more comfortable tonight. AJP was responsible for Buchholz's home runs, or at least one of them.Homar said:The AJP signing never made sense to me, and nothing about his play justified it either. Good riddance. Welcome, Christian!

Vazquez will be in the lineup tonight for #RedSox, as will Bradley, Betts and Bogaerts.

The Sox are one of the worst teams in baseball with one of the worst offenses. The nightmare may not be over yet.
Scriblerus said:I'm going to call the AJP experiment a Valentine...bring in a guy that you know has baggage, people will probably not like, but might work out if everything goes well, and is easily dropped and replaced by the player you really want but need to wait for.
If it works, hey, it worked! If it doesn't, everyone is happy when he's gone.
