6:19pm: Robert Murray of FanSided reports the full trade terms. Boston is acquiring Oviedo and minor leaguers Tyler Samaniego and Adonys Guzman. Pittsburgh gets García and pitching prospect Jesus Travieso.
6:17pm: The Red Sox and Pirates are in agreement on a five-player trade that’ll send starter Johan Oviedo to Boston and outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia to Pittsburgh, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN.
Oviedo and García are the centerpieces of the deal on either side. The 27-year-old Oviedo is a 6’6″ right-hander who has been a capable back-end starter since the Pirates acquired him at the 2022 trade deadline. He’d been a swingman with the Cardinals for his first couple seasons but has stepped into a full-time rotation role for the Bucs. Oviedo took the ball 32 times and ranked second on the team with 177 2/3 innings in 2023. He posted a 4.31 earned run average with slightly worse than average strikeout and walk rates.
