Red Sox cut Snyder from roster
08:00 AM EDT on Monday, April 7, 2008
TORONTO - Manager Terry Francona made it official yesterday morning, announcing that right-hander Kyle Snyder had been designated for assignment to make room for Josh Beckett, who came off the disabled list for yesterday’s start against Toronto.

The decision had nothing to do with Snyder’s performance in Saturday’s game, when he walked the first two batters he faced, on nine pitches, and was lifted after a sacrifice bunt, Francona said.
“He’s one of the most respectful teammates I’ve seen come through here,” said Francona.
It’s possible Snyder could be claimed by another organization and end up back in a starting rotation, which is what he preferred, though he did embrace the long-relief role he was in with the Sox.
Boston will have to make another move with its pitching staff next week when Mike Timlin is expected to come off the DL.
