Red Sox send top prospect to Pirates for Johan Oviedo in five-player trade
NY Post
The Red Sox traded one of their top prospects to the Pirates to help boost their rotation as part of a five-player trade Thursday night.
Outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia and pitcher Jesus Travieso were shipped to the Steel City in exchange for right-hander Johan Oviedo and minor leaguers Tyler Samaniego and Adonys Guzman, the Boston Globe’s Tim Healey reported.
Oviedo, 27, became a solid starter for the Pirates after he was picked up at the 2022 trade deadline. He started nine games in 2025, striking out 42 batters and posting a 3.57 ERA over 40 1/3 innings while averaging 95.5 mph on his fastball.
The righty underwent Tommy John surgery that prevented him from pitching the entire 2024 season before he then dealt with a lat strain while building up during spring training.
He didn’t make his season debut this year until early August.
Arguably, the biggest piece of the trade headed to Pittsburgh is Garcia.

The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
