Who will Craig Breslow and the Red Sox pick up before Thursday's MLB trade deadline? Follow along for live updates.

Baseball chief Craig Breslow said the failure to land any big names wasn't for lack of trying: 'We pursued a number of impact opportunities.'

Breslow, for his part, faced the press less than 90 minutes after the deadline passed, explaining that he felt the Red Sox had acted aggressively -- to the point of being "uncomfortable." In the end, though, they just weren't able to pull off any additional or greater transactions.
