Red Sox Make Final Push for Padres Pitcher Before MLB Trade Deadline originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With the arrival of the MLB's trade deadline day, there are still a handful of expected moves out there.

TRADE: The Red Sox have made a deadline deal, sending minor-league infielder Blaze Jordan to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for 34-year-old pitcher Steven Matz. The Cardinals officially announced the move Thursday morning. The veteran lefty worked out of the bullpen in St. Louis, but has experience starting games.

Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has developed a reputation around the league as being tough to negotiate with, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
