The Red Sox have traded infielder Julio Lugo to the Cardinals for OF Chris Duncan, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Earlier in the week, Adam Rubin of the Daily News said the Mets would have signed Lugo had he become a free agent at the end of this week.

Lugo is due $4.5 million through the rest of this season, plus $9 million in 2010, all of which the Sox will pay, according to reports.
