The Red Sox traded for former Cy Young-winning righthander Jake Peavy in a three-team, seven-player deal that was announced just before midnight Tuesday July 30.
In the deal, the Red Sox spun off Jose Iglesias to the Detroit Tigers along with three lower-level prospects. The Sox also obtained Triple A righthander Brayan Villarreal from Detroit.
The Sox sent righthanders J.B. Wendelken and Francelis Montas and infielder Cleuluis Rondon to the White Sox. Chicago also obtained outfielder Avisail Garcia from Detroit.
“We’re really excited to bring Jake here. He’s obviously a proven major league starter. He’s had a ton of success in his career,” Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said. “If there was one thing we could do, if we could pull it off, it’s add a starting pitcher.”
In 45 starts since the beginning of 2012, Peavy has won 19 games and has a 3.61 ERA. But Peavy is not the same pitcher he was when he won the 2007 National League Cy Young. He had a 3.25 ERA from 2002-08 and it has jumped to 4.00 since. He also has had numerous physical issues since 2008.
