ESPN - Red Sox place waiver claim on Giles, working on deal - MLB
Not 100% sure why Boston would do this, but OK..

I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.
Ah, give me something clever to say here.
Possibly to block the Rays. Giles also has the right to veto a trade to 10 teams and Boston is on the list. Looks like it was a simple cockblock.
The Sox do need a 5th OF but I imagine they did this to block the Rays

San Diego Padres right fielder Brian Giles officially exercised his veto power and blocked a waiver deal Friday that would have sent him to the Boston Red Sox.

Giles
Giles, 37, was claimed on waivers by the Red Sox, and Boston and San Diego had 48 hours to make a deal. But the Red Sox are one of eight teams listed in the limited no-trade provision in his contract, and Giles had the right to veto the deal.
It is not unusual for older players such as Giles to turn down such deals. Among the issues that came up was location -- Giles, who grew up in San Diego, did not want to leave family behind -- and there was the concern about playing time with the Red Sox.

He woulda been a 5th OF here, he wanted to play, retire a Padre, and stay near his family and daughters... I can respect that, good luck with your career Giles, you've earned 1 fan for the way you handled this.
