Former Kent State baseball standout Travis Shaw was traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Milwaukee Brewers Tuesday morning, as first reported by FOX Sports.
The Red Sox traded Shaw to the Brewers for set-up man Tyler Thornberg — a move that pencils in Pablo Sandoval as the Red Sox starting third baseman next season. Shaw — who Red Sox fans nicknamed “the Mayor of Ding Dong city” for his uncanny power — has played in 210 games over the past two years, amassing a .251 average to go along with 29 home runs and 107 RBI.
