Overview
- The reported deal sends RHP Johan Oviedo, LHP Tyler Samaniego and C Adonys Guzman to Boston for OF Jhostynxon Garcia and RHP Jesus Travieso.
- Multiple outlets detailed the trade while noting the clubs had not issued an official announcement at the time of reporting.
- Oviedo, 27, returned from Tommy John surgery to post a 3.57 ERA over nine starts in 2025 and remains under team control through 2027, with recent command and durability questions highlighted.
- Garcia, a top-100 MLB prospect and Boston’s No. 3 per MLB Pipeline, was viewed as blocked in a crowded Red Sox outfield after debuting briefly in 2025.
- Boston designated RHP Cooper Criswell for assignment to manage its 40-man roster, and analysts say the added pitching depth could fuel further trades as the Winter Meetings begin.
