The Globe is reporting that the Sox have picked up Conor Jackson for reliever Jason Rice. MLBTR has it as well.

I like it. Nothing crazy, just a simple move to enhance our depth in the outfield and give us a solid option off the bench to hit lefties. Jackson's struggles were a product of him playing in Oakland more than anything else IMO. He's always had talent and now he'll have a ballpark that's better suited to his abilities.
