News: The Red Sox traded LaRoche back to his original club, the Braves, apparently for Casey Kotchman, the Boston Globe reports.

Analysis: LaRoche might add a little extra power over Kotchman, but that would be traded off by Kotchman's superior defense. We're not really sure of the Braves' motivation for this trade.

News: The Pirates have reportedly traded LaRoche to the Red Sox, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Analysis: This is hot off the Post-Gazette's blog, so what the Bucs would get in return is not yet known, assuming the deal has in fact been completed. With the Red Sox, LaRoche would provide some corner infield flexibility and insurance, while providing some pop off the bench. His fantasy value would take a hit in that at-bats would be harder to come by than they were in Pittsburgh, but it would shoot right back up if he ended up getting regular playing time as a result of an injury to either Mike Lowell, Kevin Youkilis or David Ortiz.
