According to CSNNE.com, the Boston Red Sox are looking at right-handed pitcher Armando Galarraga.  The pitcher was designated for assignment by the Arizona Diamondbacks this week.

It’s unclear if the team still has a need for Galarraga given that they signed Kevin Millwood to a Minor League deal on Thursday.

The 29-year-old was 3-4 with a 5.91 ERA in 8 starts for the Diamondbacks this season.

Galarraga shot to fame in 2010 after he almost completed a perfect game while with the Detroit Tigers.  A bad call by umpire Jim Joyce led to the flaw in an otherwise flawless game.  Galarraga was admired by the world for his composure and sportsmanship in a situation that many likely would not have been able to calmly handle.
