Overview
- ClutchPoints reports that Boston would receive Johan Oviedo, Tyler Samaniego, and Adonys Guzman, with Pittsburgh getting Jhostynxon Garcia and Jesus Travieso, and Heavy says ESPN’s Jeff Passan also reported the agreement.
- Oviedo, 27, owns a 4.24 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 321 strikeouts in 361.0 career innings, and Heavy notes he posted a 3.57 ERA over 40.1 innings across nine starts in 2025 after missing 2024.
- Garcia was ranked Boston’s No. 3 prospect by MLB Pipeline and logged only seven MLB at-bats, while Heavy reports he hit 18 home runs with an .833 OPS over 81 Triple-A games in 2025.
- Samaniego is a minor-league left-hander with a reported 3.82 ERA, and Guzman is described as a less-experienced pitching prospect.
- Coverage frames the move as bolstering Boston’s rotation depth following its recent Sonny Gray acquisition, with some analysis suggesting the added arms could provide flexibility for further trades.
