Veteran relievers Matt Barnes and Richard Bleier traded places on Monday in a deal between the Miami Marlins and Boston Red Sox, and I love it. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic was first to report it. The trade is now official.
Correction from earlier, source says Red Sox are sending approximately $5 million to Miami in the trade. https://t.co/srbuRb11Px

The Red Sox designated Barnes for assignment last week, ending his Boston tenure after parts of nine MLB seasons.
