Red Sox acquire Mike Carp from Seattle

FORT MYERS, Fla. — The Red Sox have acquired first baseman and left fielder Mike Carp from the Seattle Mariners for a player to be named later or cash.

Ryan Kalish, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, was placed on the 60-day disabled list to make room for Carp on the 40-man roster.

Didn't cost much. 

Let me get this straight.  To platoon with Johnny Gomes in left who is a poor fielder and doesn't hit righties they picked up Mike Carp who is really a first baseman and hits lefties much better than righties.
