Red Sox acquire Jacob Wallace to complete Kevin Pillar trade

As we covered at the time, PTBNL’s this season were not really analogous to those in the past, as 2020’s rules dictated that only players on a club’s 60-man player pool could be officially dealt. As such, the players were known by both sides but could not be announced until either they were added to a 60-man player pool or the season concluded. The Red Sox have added the player they received from Colorado to their player pool. That player: Right-handed relief pitcher Jacob Wallace.
