Proposed Deal of Nick Punto To Houston For Entire Astros Roster, Country of Luxembourg, Mummified Remains of Tutenkamen Not Enough For Boston

The trade deadline came and past yesterday at 4 ET without the completion of a much rumored trade between the Astros and Red Sox for Future Hall-of-Fame shortstop Nick Punto.  The Red Sox, still reeling in the wake of countless injuries, decided to deal the slugger for offensive depth, especially in the outfield.  But they weren't about to give Punto away for free.

A source close to the story reports that negotiations went back and fourth for hours, as Red Sox General Manager Ben Cherington gradually cajoled Astros GM Jeff Luhnow's offer up to the entire Houston 25-man roster, the mummified remains of the ancient pharoTutenkamen, and the small central European country of Luxembourg.  Cherington, however, refused to go through with h the trade unless Houston agreed to sweeten the deal by throwing in a dvd boxed set of his favorite CBS crime procedural NCIS, to which Luhnow reportedly replied, "Watch the damn show on Netflix," and Cherington retorted, "They havn't put the show on On Demand, and if you think I'm gonna pay eight bucks extra a month for dvds through the mail, you got another thing coming." Cherington proceeded to ramble on about how Luhnow was being very "un-Agent Gibbs-like", and, naturally, the trade was nixed.

Nick Punto To Release Breakfast Cereal Called "Yankee O's" With Motto, "Just like Nick, You Too Can Eat Yankees For Breakfast".

After much anticipation, Future Hall-Of-Famer Nick Punto called a press conference yesterday to announce his partnership with Kellogg's in the creation of his own breakfast cereal "Yankee O's" that will be marketed with the tagline, "Just like Nick, you too can eat Yankees for breakfast."
A sample of the product was then distributed among the press present.  The box features a smiling headshot of Punto, mouth agape, about to chomp down on a spoonful of miniature Curtis Grandersons, Mark Teixieras, Derek Jeters, and A-Rods, all screaming in horror.
The cereal itself features a similar design, the compressed oats made to look like the screaming heads of past and former Yankees, but the real highlight of the product is the mini plastic Nick Punto action figure as the prize at the bottom of each box.  When a button on the back of the Punto figurine is pressed, his right foot stomps down to the floor.  Put a Yankee-head piece of cereal underneath this foot, and "You've got hours and hours of Yankee-stomping fun!"
