The Pittsburgh Pirates finally did something that feels different.
In a five-player deal that came together fast and loud, the Pirates sent right-hander Johan Oviedo to the Boston Red Sox and came away with the one thing they’ve been starving for: a legitimate power prospect. Outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia is headed to Pittsburgh, with left-hander Tyler Samaniego and catcher Adonys Guzman moving to Boston as part of the return package, per Jeff Passan of ESPN.
Pittsburgh will also receive pitching prospect Jesus Travieso as part of the deal, according to Robert Murray of FanSided.
