The Boston Red Sox have been busy this Tuesday. They started the day by making room on the 40-man roster with a few DFAs and trades. Then they added prospects David Sandlin, Tyler Uberstine, and Shane Drohan to the 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft.
Now, we’re getting even more trades. The Red Sox sent reliever Chris Murphy to the Chicago White Sox for catching prospect Ronny Hernandez (per Britt Ghiroli). Then they sent pitching prospect Alex Hoppe to the Seattle Mariners for catching prospect Luke Heyman (per Chris Cotillo).
