Boston Red Sox trade Eduardo Rivera to St. Louis Cardinals
Chris Cotillo reported league interest in Rivera shortly after he was designated for assignment.
The Boston Red Sox are trading left-handed pitcher Eduardo Rivera to the St. Louis Cardinals, as reported by Andrew Parker of SoxProspects.com.
Boston receives right-handed pitcher Juan Garcia in the exchange. The Red Sox previously designated Rivera for assignment to clear space on their 40-man roster.
Rivera departs the Boston organization after making his Major League debut earlier in the year. He joins the St. Louis pitching staff as both teams navigate the offseason.
