Red Sox acquire catching prospect Jhonny Pereda from Cubs
The Boston Red Sox acquired catcher Jhonny Pereda from the Cubs, completing a trade that sent Travis Lakins to Chicago in January.
It’s been just over two months since the Boston Red Sox shipped right-handed pitcher Travis Lakins to the Chicago Cubs for cash considerations and a player to be named later. We finally know who that player is.
The club announced on Monday that they have acquired catcher Jhonny Pereda from the Cubs, completing the Lakins trade from January 21.
Pereda spent last season in Double-A where he hit .241/.336/.305 with two home runs and 39 RBI in 98 games.
