The Boston Red Sox officially acquired starting pitcher Josh Beckett, third baseman Mike Lowell and reliever Guilermo Mota from the Florida Marlins. In return, the Marlins received top shortstop prospect Hanley Ramirez and minor league right-handed pitchers Anibal Sanchez, Jesus Delgado and Harvey Garcia. The trade was reported earlier in the week and was awaiting league approval to be finalized. The original deal that was reported also did not include Mota, but Boston apparently threw in Garcia to get the reliever added to the deal. Florida also finalized a deal that sent first baseman Carlos Delgado to the New York Mets for first baseman Mike Jacobs and two minor leaguers on Thursday. Selected as the second overall pick by the Marlins in the 1999 amateur draft, Beckett went 15-8 with a 3.38 ERA in 29 starts last season. The 25-year-old righty was bothered by tendinitis in his throwing shoulder for the last two months of the season. He was on the disabled list twice in 2005, once with a left oblique strain and again with a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand. Beckett has been on the DL nine times in his career, with six of those stints being blister-related. He's 41-34 with a 3.46 ERA in 106 games (103 starts). He was especially dominant in the 2003 World Series against the New York Yankees, when Beckett went 1-1 with a 1.10 ERA in two starts and won the World Series MVP. Beckett, who is eligible for salary arbitration this year, picked up the win in the series-clinching Game 6 after just three days of rest. The 31-year-old Lowell, a three-time All-Star, hit just .236 with eight homers and 58 RBI in 150 games last season. He's a career .272 batter. Mota, a right-hander, went 2-2 with a 4.70 ERA and a pair of saves in 2005 for the Marlins. An athletic five-tool player, the 21-year-old Ramirez batted .271 with six homers, 52 RBI and 26 steals for Double-A Portland. He also played in two games for the Red Sox. Sanchez was 3-5 with a 3.45 ERA in 11 games for Portland, and earlier in 2005 he played for Single-A Wilmington and went 6-1 with a 2.40 ERA. The 21-year-old Delgado compiled a 7-3 mark with a 3.50 ERA in 33 relief appearances for Single-A Greenville last season. Garcia also pitched for Greenville and went 3-5 with a 2.01 ERA in 32 appearances.
