In a swap of outfielders, the Boston Red Sox traded Mark Kotsay and cash to the Chicago White Sox for Brian Anderson on Tuesday.

The Red Sox are second in the AL East, and designated the 33-year-old Kotsay for assignment last week. The White Sox are second in the AL Central and sent the 27-year-old Anderson to Triple-A last week.

Kotsay hit .257 with one home run and five RBIs in 27 games for the Red Sox this year. He started out the season on the disabled list while recovering from back surgery.

Anderson was hitting .238 with two homers and 13 RBIs when the White Sox sent him down to Triple-A Charlotte. The Red Sox will option him to Triple-A Pawtucket

From what I remember Anderson is a good fielder. I think he made a diving play to get the White Sox to the play-offs.
