US EditionFormer Sea Dogs Standout Traded by Red Sox in Deal for Pirates Pitcher
Boston added Johan Oviedo and two prospects to deepen its rotation amid an active offseason, trading top outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia to Pittsburgh.
- On Thursday, December 4, 2025, the Boston Red Sox acquired Johan Oviedo, Tyler Samaniego, and Adonys Guzman in a five-player trade sending Jhostynxon Garcia and Jesus Travieso to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

- Oviedo, a 27-year-old right-hander, posted a 3.57 ERA with 42 strikeouts and 23 walks over 40.1 innings in nine 2025 starts after missing 2024 due to Tommy John surgery and a lat strain.
- The Red Sox cleared a 40-man spot by designating Cooper Criswell, right-hander designated for assignment, and Johan Oviedo will compete for one of the club's final rotation spots in spring training.
- This marks Boston's second starter trade in days, underscoring their active MLB hot stove posture despite Oviedo's inconsistency and injury history.
