Red Sox outlast White Sox, 12-8, in slugfest
By: Mike Petraglia

Mike Lowell had a three-run homer in a six-run third inning as the Red Sox came from a 4-1 deficit and beat the White Sox, 12-8, Monday night at Fenway Park in the opener of the four-game series. J.D. Drew also homered for the Red Sox, who won for the second time in four games on the 10-game homestand. Clay Buchholz, who allowed seven runs, six hits and two homers, entered the fifth with a 9-4 lead but could only get two outs and left after allowing a three-run homer to Paul Konerko. Ramon Ramirez earned the win. David Ortiz's two-out bases loaded chopper up the first base line was mishandled by Jose Contreras, opening the door for the six unearned runs in the third.

Wagner: 'Unless something changes, I'll probably be a Met'
By: Rob Bradford

Billy Wagner pitched one inning for the Mets against the Phillies Monday, striking out two, walking one and not allowing a hit. After the game Wagner met with reporters, telling them he expects once Tuesday's 1 p.m. deadline for the Red Sox to work out a trade for the reliever passes he expects he will still be property of New York. "My gut tells me I'm going to Florida now [for the series with the Marlins]. Unless something changes, I'll probably be a Met." Wagner, who could also be now drawn back by the Mets, making him Red Sox property, suggested his situation with the Sox might not be ideal. "I'm too old to set up... I don't want to go up there and feel like I need to impress someone... That may not be good for them or for me." As for the comments made by Jonathan Papelbon to WEEI.com, insinuating the Red Sox' bullpen might be set as is, saying, "What can I say? He's not a Billy Wagner fan."

Wagner: Trade OK if option isn't picked up
By: Rob Bradford

Speaking to the Associated Press prior to the Mets game against the Phillies, Monday, Billy Wagner made it clear that he would accept a trade to the Red Sox only if they agreed not to pick up his option for the 2010 season. Wagner reiterated that he wanted to return as a closer, not a set-up man. "I don't want to end my career as a setup man," Wagner said. "I'd like to have that option." According to FoxSports.com, the Red Sox declined both the commitment of not picking up the option or not offering Wagner arbitration following this season if any deal was to be made. The Red Sox have until 1 p.m.Tuesday to work out a trade with the Mets, who could also release the rights to the 38-year-old reliever to the Red Sox, not getting anything in return.
