The Associated Press: Red Sox get OF Gathright in trade with Orioles
BALTIMORE — The Boston Red Sox have obtained minor league outfielder Joey Gathright from the Baltimore Orioles for a player to be named or cash.
The deal was completed Saturday. Gathright has 428 games of major league experience, including 20 this season with the Chicago Cubs. The 28-year-old speedster was traded by the Cubs to the Orioles in May for Ryan Freel, but Gathright never played a game for Baltimore.
After coming over from Chicago, Gathright was immediately assigned to Baltimore's Triple-A affiliate in Norfolk, where he hit .329 with 24 steals, 11 doubles and 20 RBIs in 80 games.

With just two days remaining until rosters expand and an always-present need for arms, the Boston Red Sox have sent Junichi Tazawa to the Gulf Coast League and called up right-handed pitcher Marcus McBeth from Triple-A Pawtucket.
McBeth, 29, is 2-2 with a 2.70 ERA in 42 appearances for the PawSox this year. He has 62 strikeouts and just 27 walks, holding batters to a .199 batting average. He appeared in 23 major league games in 2007 for the Cincinnati Reds, going 3-2 with a 5.95 ERA.
