INDIANAPOLIS . The winter meetings heated up even more Wednesday, with Milwaukee landing pitchers Randy Wolf and LaTroy Hawkins, Baltimore acquiring Kevin Millwood in a trade with Texas and the Yankees completing the three-team, seven-player swap that brought them All-Star center fielder Curtis Granderson.
New York also re-signed postseason star Andy Pettitte, and Houston reeled in hard-throwing reliever Matt Lindstrom from the Florida Marlins on the next-to-last-day of the four-day annual session.
The Red Sox made a minor, if unique move. They claimed right-hander Ramon Ramirez on waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays.
And here's a twist: The Red Sox already have a pitcher on their staff by the name of Ramon Ramirez.
The newly acquired Ramirez was 0-0 with a 3.65 ERA in 11 games for Cincinnati last season. Tampa Bay claimed him on waivers from the Reds in November, then released him last week.
