The Boston Red Sox added another relief pitcher to their roster in a Christmas Eve trade with the Minnesota Twins.

The Twins will send left-hander Jovani Morán to the Red Sox in exchange for catcher/infielder Mickey Gasper.

Morán missed the entire 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery. He last pitched for the Twins in 2023, posting a 2-2 record, a 5.31 ERA, a 1.46 WHIP, 48 strikeouts and 27 walks in 42 1/3 innings.

Morán has made a total of 43 appearances (zero starts) since debuting with the Twins in 2021.

Gasper played in 13 games for the Red Sox last season. He had zero hits in 18 at-bats with four walks and eight strikeouts.

The Red Sox previously acquired Garrett Crochet Starter (through trade), starter Walker Buehler (free agency), owner Patricio Sandoval (free agency) and reliever Aroldis Chapman (free agency) early in the offseason.
