The Boston Red Sox made yet another trade no one saw coming on Monday night, which seems to be their calling card recently.
MLB insider Jeff Passan broke the news on social media that Boston would send pitching prospect Luis Perales to the Washington Nationals for a different pitching prospect, Jake Bennett. The deal is a rare 1-for-1, top prospect-for-top prospect deal we don't see often in MLB.
It hurts losing Perales. He was the top pitching prospect in the system before suffering an injury in 2024 that led to Tommy John surgery.
