BOSTON (AP) — Jordan Hicks saw the Boston Red Sox wanted him as a free agent when they made a push after the 2023 season.
Two weeks ago, he was surprised that they were able to get him while he’s still on the injured list when they shipped Rafael Devers off to San Francisco.
“I was little bit surprised,” Hicks said Sunday morning, speaking to reporters from the Red Sox dugout before they faced the Toronto Blue Jays.
“I didn’t even know you could get traded on the IL,” said the 28-year-old right-hander, who has made two rehab appearances while working through right toe inflammation.
