Red Sox, Twins quietly agree to trade on Christmas EveThe #RedSox today acquired LHP Jovani Morán from the Minnesota Twins, in exchange for C/INF Mickey Gasper. Boston’s 40-man roster is now at 39,” the team announced on X, formerly Twitter. The Red Sox have already had a busy offseason, with their big acquisition coming in the form of Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox. Their deal with the Twins is a rather quiet one, but Moran could play a role for the Red Sox at some point down the road. Moran, 27, is a left-handed reliever who has 79 games of big league experience. He pitched in only five games in 2021, but established himself as a reliable option in 2022. Moran pitched to a 2.21 ERA across 31 appearances during the ’22 campaign with Minnesota. In 2023, however, he recorded a 5.31 ERA in 43 outings. Moran has not pitched in an MLB game since the 2023 season. Nevertheless, he could factor into the Red Sox’s bullpen plans. Strengthening the bullpen has been a priority for the Red Sox. Boston’s relievers have endured ups and downs in recent years, so the team would love to find consistency within the bullpen. The same can be said for the starting rotation, as the Red Sox also added Walker Buehler in addition to Garrett CrochetThe #RedSox today acquired LHP Jovani Morán from the Minnesota Twins, in exchange for C/INF Mickey Gasper.
