Done Deal - Kotsay to Boston
SoxisSickies found this 3 months ago on www.boston.com

The Red Sox today officially acquired outfielder Mark Kotsay from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for minor league outfielder Luis Sumoza.

Kotsay is expected to join the team in New York and will wear No. 11. The 32-year-old is batting .289 with 6 homers and 37 RBI in 81 games this season.

According to Foxsports.com, Kotsay will receive a $325,000 bonus for agreeing to waive his no-trade clause for the Red Sox, one of eight teams reportedly on his no-trade list.

The 20-year-old Sumoza is hitting .301 with 11 homers and 38 RBIs for the Single-A Lowell Spinners.
