Red Sox Acquire RHP Johan Oviedo in Five-Player Trade

The Boston Red Sox acquired right-hander Johan Oviedo from the Pittsburgh Pirates in a five-player trade, sending prospects Jhostynxon Garcia and Jesus Travieso to Pittsburgh. Oviedo, under team control through 2027, posted a 3.57 ERA over nine starts (40.1 innings) last season after missing most of 2025 and all of 2024 due to Tommy John surgery. In his last full season (2023), he had a 4.31 ERA and 1.37 WHIP across 32 starts. Oviedo, who averaged 95.5 mph with his fastball, projects as a No. 4 or 5 starter for Boston despite command struggles (13.5% walk rate).
