You don't think the Yankees try and block players the Sox are going after and vice versa? The DRays feel like the Sox cheated them out of a trade and they're paying them back, or at least tried to. That's business

that is not the same at all. the red sox block a player the yankees want because doing so improves their own chances to make the playoffs. the devil rays blocking this trade will not affect that at all.

edit: to those who think the red sox deserve this, how professional do you think jose mesa is about handling his feud with omar vizquel? mesa actually pitched to him tonight, crazily enough.
