Overview
- Boston acquired infielder Tristan Gray from Tampa Bay and sent right-hander Luis Guerrero the other way in a swap announced Tuesday.
- To add Gray to the 40-man roster, the Red Sox designated first baseman Nathaniel Lowe for assignment.
- Lowe’s DFA follows projections of an arbitration salary around $13–13.5 million after he hit .280 with a .790 OPS in 34 games for Boston in 2025.
- Gray, a left-handed, multi-position infielder with a remaining option, provides depth after appearing at all four infield spots for the Rays this year.
- Guerrero had been designated for assignment earlier this month and cleared waivers, and he now joins Tampa Bay as a live-armed reliever with recent elbow and command concerns.
