Dec. 16—Hoy Park, who the Boston Red Sox designated for assignment earlier this week, was traded to the Atlanta Braves on Friday for cash considerations or a player to be named later.
Park only spent about three weeks with the Red Sox after being acquired for minor leaguer Inmer Lobo from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Nov. 23.
Park, a 26-year-old utility player from South Korea, played 23 games for the Pirates in 2022. He hit .216 (11-for-51) with two home runs.
The Red Sox designated Park to clear space on their 40-man roster for reliever Kenley Jansen, who signed with Boston as a free agent after spending the 2022 season with the Braves.
