Red Sox Add Veteran OF Jahmai Jones to Mix in Trade with Tigers

Jones hit .137 in 105 plate appearances this season before Detroit designated him for assignment, and Boston adds right-handed corner outfield depth.

  • On Tuesday, July 14, the Boston Red Sox acquired outfielder Jahmai Jones from the Detroit Tigers for a player to be named later.
  • Detroit designated Jones for assignment last week to clear roster space for catcher Eduardo Valencia after the 28-year-old struggled to a.137 average this season.
  • After a 2025 breakout with seven home runs and 23 RBIs in 72 games, Jones posted a.440 OPS this year, the fourth-worst among qualified MLB hitters.
  • To accommodate Jones on the 26-man roster, the Red Sox optioned outfielder Nate Eaton to Triple-A Worcester, utilizing an open 40-man spot from the Danny Coulombe move.
  • Boston sits 1/2 game back of the American League Wild Card spot with a 46-48 record, seeking offensive depth as the team pushes toward the postseason.
