According to the Boston Globe, the return of Jed Lowrie may spell the end of his days with the Red Sox. And, ironically, it may also be the play of another ex-Devil Rays player, Nick Green, that helps put him away.
Lugo has not started for the Red Sox since June 14. His high-priced contract and sporadic play clearly makes it unlikely that the Red Sox could find anyone willing to trade for him.
In 2006, the Devil Rays traded Lugo to the Los Angeles Dodgers for minor league prospects Joel Guzman and Sergio Pedroza. While Guzman did make it to the big leagues for a handful of games, both are no longer in the Rays organization.
