SEATTLE -- The Boston Red Sox bolstered their bullpen ahead of Mondays trade deadline by acquiring left-hander Fernando Abad from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for hard-throwing Triple-A reliever Pat Light.Abad, 30, figures to balance out a group of late-inning relievers composed of right-handed setup men Junichi Tazawa and Brad Ziegler and closer Craig Kimbrel, who could be reinstated from the disabled list in time for Monday nights series opener here against the Seattle Mariners.In the days and hours leading up to the deadline, the Red Sox have also inquired about the availability of?Chris Sale,?the?Chicago White Sox ace. The White Sox scouted the Red Soxs fertile farm system last week, and it appears the teams match up well for a potential blockbuster.The White Sox are holding out for a significant return for Sale, a 27-year-old perennial Cy Young Award candidate with arguably the most club-friendly contract in baseball. His contract will pay him $12 million next year and includes team options for 2018 and 2019 that are worth $12.5 million and $13.5 million, respectively. Any deal for Sale would have to include multiple Red Sox prospects, including either Cuban infielder Yoan Moncada or center fielder Andrew Benintendi, and possibly both, according to multiple major league sources.Making a move to improve the bullpen isnt nearly as exciting for the Red Sox as a trade for Sale would be, but it is necessary, especially with 41-year-old setup man Koji Uehara sidelined indefinitely by a strained right pectoral muscle. The Red Sox have not put a timetable on his return, but both manager John Farrell and president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski have insinuated that Uehara wont pitch until September, if he comes back at all.Abad has a 2.65 ERA with 29 strikeouts and 14 walks in 34 innings for the Twins. But he has been lethal to left-handed hitters, holding them to a .163 average (8-for-49) with 10 strikeouts and two walks. Didi Gregorius is the only left-handed hitter to take Abad deep this season.Abad is making $1.25 million this season and is eligible for salary arbitration. He cant become a free agent until after the 2017 season.The Red Sox selected Light with the 37th pick in the 2012 draft. He was moved to the bullpen at the beginning of last season to help harness his control of his fastball. But he has struggled with his command, walking 17 batters in 31 innings for Triple-A Pawtucket. In two appearances in the big leagues, Light allowed seven earned runs on seven hits, including two home runs, for a 23.63 ERA.

(STATS) -- Maybe the only thing more tiring than defending Eastern Washington senior Cooper Kupp is trying to keep track of his many pass receiving records.The three-time FCS first-team All-American holds 33 records -- seven NCAA, eight Big Sky Conference and 18 Eastern Washington -- heading into his final season. The 2015 STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year is on pace to end his college career as the greatest wide receiver in FCS history.Yet he never seems to be satisfied with his countless accomplishments. Hes looking toward the next team goal.When your best player is also doing all the little things, Eagles coach Beau Baldwin said, that makes your life and job as a coach that much easier in terms of trying to set a certain standard and a certain culture for the young guys.Eastern Washington opens its season Saturday at Washington State. In three career games against Pac-12 opponents, Kupp has combined for 28 receptions, 510 receiving yards and eight touchdown catches.Known for his excellent route running and physical style, Kupp has led the FCS in receiving yards in two of his three seasons and finished second the other time. He ranks fourth in FCS history in receptions (311, 84 behind the record), second in reception yards (4,764, 486 behind the record) and second in TD receptions (56, two behind the record).ddddddddddddIm not going to try to top anything. Im going to be the best that I can be, said Kupp, who has the chance to become only the second player -- after former Appalachian State quarterback Armanti Edwards -- to win the nations top individual honor a second time.Generally regarded as the leading FCS prospect for the 2017 NFL Draft, the 6-foot-2, 215-pound Kupp bulked up in the offseason in preparation for the future. He comes from a football family as his father Craig was a former NFL quarterback and grandfather Jake had a long NFL career as an offensive guard.But having been a part of Big Sky championship squads in 2012 (as a redshirt), 13 and 14, Kupps main goal is to get the Eagles back on track after last years 6-5 record fell below the program standard.What is important to me, Kupp said, is that Im giving my best day in and day out. As long as everyone else on the Eastern Washington football team walks off the field their last time playing and is able to look back and say, I gave everything I had this season. I gave my very best, everything else that comes with that -- statistics, team success, all the stuff -- is going to come with it. ' ' '
