Is Brian Giles on his way to Boston? (AP Images)

The Boston Red Sox have made a splash on the post-trade deadline waiver wire, submitting a claim for San Diego Padres RF Brian Giles.

Giles, 37, is hitting .295 this season with six home runs and 37 RBI in 103 games. He also has a .390 on-base percentage this season. He is scheduled to make $9 million this season with another $2 million added on if he was to be traded. It is reported that Boston is one of the eight teams to which Giles can block a trade as outlined in his contract.

Will the BoSox pick up Giles in time for the pennant drive? If you think you know what will happen, parlay that into some wagering and winning in the Bodog Sportsbook! All the latest MLB baseball betting options are available now!
