Notes: Sox GM Theo Epstein thinks that no news is good news as it came down to the Sox being unwilling to trade their future for a stop gap...Epstein said the team came close on a number of deals that would've helped the club, but couldn't conusumate any of those deals," We came close on a lot of things. That's the nature of theses things. It's easy to come close and hard to find a deal that works for both teams," said Epstein...Right fielder Trot Nixon has been placed on the 15-day DL with a grade two strain of his right bicep, it could sideline him for three weeks... Reliever Keith Foulke continues to experience stiffness in his back...Check in with you soon.-Chris
