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.
