Boston Claim Napoli, Deal Unlikely

The Red Sox claimed Angels catcher/first baseman Mike Napoli off waivers late last week, according to a source.

However, the Boston Herald writes that a trade is unlikely.

The move was meant at least partly as a defensive one to keep Napoli to going to a team like the rival Rays.

According to the source, the Angels likely will pull Napoli back.
