It was clear that the Sox were trying to trade Tavares but now it is more evident that there is no room for Julian on this years squad. To make room for Sean Casey who is coming off the DL, the Red sox have designated Juilan Tavares for assingment (according to multiple sources, SI.com, Projo.com).
They now have 10 days to either work a trade with another team or to outright release him.
This lowers the value that the Sox will get in return for him but hopefully more than one team wants him, which I think is likly (he could be a 5 starter somewhere), thus driving up the stock for him and the sox landing something of value in return.

Tavares sucks

The offer of praise is a relatively inexpensive means of payment; fame is a cheap date for the fans, so to speak. ,
