Red Sox Trade for Oviedo, Pirates Get García
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
The Boston Red Sox have acquired right-hander Johan Oviedo from the Pittsburgh Pirates, in exchange for top prospect Jhostynxon García. Oviedo, who missed the 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery, posted a 3.57 ERA in 9 starts in 2025. Despite promising underlying numbers, concerns about his durability and command persist. The Red Sox are banking on Oviedo delivering a full season of his best pitching, while the Pirates acquire a talented young outfielder in García. This trade marks a calculated risk for both teams, as they aim to address their respective needs in the coming seasons.
