This just in Mike Cameron has been designated for assignment from the Boston Red Sox. This has been something has been long time coming for Cameron who has hit .149 with 3 home runs and 9 RBI in his 33 games played this season.
Earlier today the Red Sox called a meeting with team officals where Cameron was in attendence and this is when Theo Esptein must have broke the news.

With issues in the outfield with J.D. Drew and Carl Crawford about to come of the DL. That left the Red Sox out field with one every day player and the duties was orginially up to Cameron. Though in many instances Cameron has been past over by players just as Darnell McDonald or as of recent Josh Reddick.
So for those out their who don't know what DFA is it basically means the Red Sox have 10 days to either trade him to another team or seven days to place him on waivers. There is an extremely small chance that Cameron excepts a minor-league assignment from the Red Sox.
During his time in a Red Sox uniform Cameron has played in 81 games with a .219 batting average and a .338 on base percentage. Cameron will be missed as a member of the Red Sox. He was a great team member and all around great guy but this is baseball and if your not producing you have got to go.
