The Boston Red Sox traded for right-handed pitcher Jorge Alcalá from the Minnesota Twins to enhance their bullpen, which has been suffering due to injuries. Alcalá has struggled this season, accumulating an 8.88 ERA, but had a successful previous season with a 3.24 ERA. He joins a bullpen in need of depth as key players recover from injuries. In exchange, the Red Sox sent prospect Andy Lugo to Minnesota and designated Brian Van Belle for assignment to make room for Alcalá.
Alcalá's 8.88 ERA this season prompted the Red Sox to acquire the struggling pitcher from the Twins, hoping to bolster their beleaguered bullpen.
Despite a tough year, Alcalá's past performance with a 3.24 ERA and strong strikeout rate made him an appealing option for a Red Sox team in need.
