The Red Sox continue to revamp their rotation, acquiring right-hander Johan Oviedo in a five-player trade with the Pirates, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.
Outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia (MLB’s No. 85 prospect) and right-hander Jesus Travieso are going to Pittsburgh in the deal, while the Pirates are also sending a pair of prospects — left-hander Tyler Samaniego and catcher Adonys Guzman — to Boston.
The clubs have not confirmed the trade, which comes a couple weeks after the Red Sox acquired veteran starter Sonny Gray from the Cardinals.

Oviedo, who is under club control through the 2027 season, has been effective when healthy, posting a career 4.24 ERA across 81 big league appearances (57 starts). The 27-year-old missed the entire 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, then suffered a lat strain that limited him to nine starts in 2025, when he logged a 3.57 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 40 1/3 innings.
Oviedo was a more prominent part of the Pirates’ rotation in 2023 when he went 9-14 with a 4.31 ERA in 32 starts.
