The Oakland A’s have traded outfielder Rajai Davis to the Boston Red Sox.
In return, the A’s received Rafael Rincones, an 18 year old outfielder currently playing in the Dominican Summer League, sporting a .258/.373/.369 line.
Rajai will have the chance to play a bench role for the Red Sox in their pursuit of a championship. His legs make him a great fit for a playoff roster, and he’ll have the chance to steal some important bases down the stretch.
As for the return, Rincones is just about as far from the big leagues as you can get in affiliated ball, and that’s about right for a month long rental.
