Accorsing to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, opposing general managers find it difficult to conduct business with Red Sox CBO Craig Breslow.

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.

The Boston Red Sox didn't do much to bolster their roster at the trade deadline, and one baseball writer is slamming their lack of additions.
