The Boston Red Sox acquired reliever Luis García from the Los Angeles Angels to strengthen their bullpen. García, who posted a 5-1 record with a 3.71 ERA and four saves for the Angels this season, will be joining his sixth MLB team in 12 seasons.
The Red Sox prioritized acquiring bullpen help before the trade deadline due to their bullpen's struggles post-All-Star break, consistently losing leads late in games. This urgency led to deals for Lucas Sims and Luis García to bolster their relief pitching.
In addition to García and Sims, the Red Sox are anticipating the return of injured relievers Chris Martin and Justin Slaten. All-Star Liam Hendriks, recovering from Tommy John surgery, is also aiming for a comeback, reinforcing the bullpen.
