The Red Sox have added some left-handed help to their current crop of outfielders, acquiring the powerful Carlos Peguero from the Rangers in exchange for cash considerations.
Peguero, a former top prospect for the Mariners, has never shown any shortage of power in his professional career. Now 28 years old, he is the owner of a career .274/.336/.512 slash line in his minor league career and has brought prodigious power even during his time in the major leagues, sporting an impressive .193 isolated power and 13 home runs in 99 career major league games.
