The Boston Red Sox have traded utility infielder Pedro Ciriaco to the San Diego Padres.
One week after designating him for assignment, the Sox felt that they did not need him anymore, and based on his results in limited playing time this season, he didn't play too good. Ciraco struggled offensively, and defensively, committing a lot of errors. What the Padres needed was some depth in their infield and Ciriaco will probably have a better role there.Now what does this mean for the Red Sox? Well, first, we are reportedly getting a player to be named later or cash considerations. Now, secondly, this means more space for players. This lets the Red Sox earn a new bench/utility/part time player, named, Jose Iglesias. This allows them to have Iglesias get much more playing time and most likely if they keep seeing good offensive production from Iglesias, he is going to stay in the big leagues this year. Personally, I think this is a good decision because they are planning on having him play 3-5 times a week, which will help him get the experience he needs for when he becomes a full time player. Well, let's hope the Sox win tonight!
