The Boston Red Sox' trade for Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Eric Hinske became official today. Hinske, the 2002 American League Rookie of the Year, is hitting .264 this year with 12 home runs and 29 RBIs. The Red Sox will send the Blue Jays a player to be named later.

The 29-year-old Hinske also can play first and third base. He will give the Red Sox a valuable left-handed batting option going into this weekend's five-game series with the New York Yankees.
