Red Sox trade for Pirates pitcher Johan Oviedo in 5-player deal

🎟️ just saw that the Red Sox got Johan Oviedo πŸ€” and I'm like what's good fam? πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ this kid's got talent but injuries are a bummer πŸ’”πŸš‘ Oviedo's been through some stuff, like Tommy John surgery and a lat injury πŸ€•πŸ’ͺ but he showed flashes last season πŸ”₯ 3.57 ERA and 42 Ks πŸ’₯ that's some nice juice for the Sox πŸΉπŸ’¦ they're taking a chance on him and I'm low-key hyped πŸ€žπŸ”œ gotta see how it plays out, but if anyone can get Oviedo healthy and firing on all cylinders πŸ”΄βš‘οΈ it's their pitching coach Andrew Bailey πŸ‘¨β€βš•οΈπŸ’Ό
 
πŸ€” so i think oviedo's got some legit potential as a depth guy for the red sox... like, he's not gonna be the ace or anything, but if they can keep him healthy and get his stuff together, he could be a nice #4 or #5 option. and yeah, it's always hard to read guys with a bunch of injuries, but it sounds like they think he's worth the risk 🀞. also, gotta feel bad for garcia, was lookin' good in boston too... hope he gets back on track 🌟
 
So the Red Sox just pulled off this crazy trade, and I'm loving it! 🀩 They're adding a new arm to their rotation with Johan Oviedo, and who knows, maybe he'll be the missing piece they need to take it to the next level. πŸ’ͺ Oviedo's got some serious stuff, 6-foot-6 and all that, but yeah, his injury history is sketchy. πŸ€• Still, he flashed some talent last season, so let's see if they can get him healthy and running wild. πŸŒͺ️ I think this trade is a win-win for both teams - Boston gets some depth, and Pittsburgh gets rid of some prospects who might not have worked out. πŸ’Ό Can't wait to see how this all plays out! #RedSoxNation #OviedoOnBoard #PitchingDepth
