Sox to Acquire Marlon Byrd?

According to Yahoo!, the Red Sox are nearing a deal with Theo Epstein and the Chicago Cubs to acquire 34-year-old outfielder Marlon Byrd.

Byrd has been at bat 43 times this year, and has hit the ball precisely 3 times, for a .070 batting average.  So why are the Red Sox interested in him?

Perhaps to make Saltalamacchia look better.
