Washington Nationals president of baseball operations Paul Toboni has finally swung his first deal with his former team.
The team announced on Monday they had acquired right-handed pitcher Luis Perales from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for left-handed pitcher Jake Bennett. It's 1-for-1, so these are the full terms of the trade. Both men were already on their teams' respective 40-man rosters, so no corresponding transactions are required to make space for them. Neither man has any Major League experience or service, though Perales has just one option year after his contract was selected by Boston following the 2023 season.
