Red Sox backup first baseman J.T. Snow said Tuesday he never asked the team to trade him, but that his agent, with general manager Theo Epstein?s blessing, made some calls ?to see what?s out there.? ?There?s a difference between a player coming up and saying, ?I want to be traded,? as opposed to, ?Hey, let?s see what?s out there. Let?s see if there?s any interest.? And that?s what happened.?
