Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein will continue to search for trade partners, but he's unlikely to net anything significant. Lugo is still owed the remainder of his $9 million salary this season (or about $4 million), plus $9 million for 2010. His 25-man roster spot will be given to either Mike Lowell or Jed Lowrie, both of whom are expected back from the disabled list this weekend.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

It would be nice to get him for the minimum just like Ryan, but we'd probably be blocked by several teams.
