As two division foes that don’t appear to be concerned about what the hometown newspapers write about them, Baltimore and Boston announce the following trade:
Red Sox trades
Pedro Strop, RHP Cubs, $4,600,000 2012-22P (Red Sox will eat $2.8 million of 2018 salary)
to Orioles for
James Nelson, 3B Marlins (minors)
Kyle Johnston, RHP Nationals (minors)
With only 32 players on the active roster and 39 players on the minors roster, the Red Sox lacks depth but also needs to reduce salary on the 40-man roster. This trade accomplishes both objectives while dealing from a position of surplus (relief pitchers). Nelson and Johnston are both quality prospects and both have a chance to turn into solid major league players.
