The Royals
traded Verdugo to the Red Sox for cash considerations.
ANALYSIS
Verdugo has logged nine starts at Triple-A Omaha this season, posting a 5-2 record, 4.24 ERA, 1.126 WHIP, and 8.49 K/9 in 46.2 innings. Expect the southpaw to report to Triple-A Pawtucket, but if the back end of the Red Sox's rotation falters, he could be considered for a spot start in the second half.
