The Boston Red Sox sent a top 10 prospect to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the offseason to acquire Johan Oviedo, and he is being recalled from Triple-A.
The Red Sox sent the Pirates Jhostynxon Garcia and Jesus Travieso for Oviedo, Tyler Samaniego and Adonys Guzman. Garcia was the Red Sox's No. 6 prospect last season, and even made his debut.
His nickname, "The Password," is one of the most unique in all of baseball. He played five games in the big leagues and will not get a shot with the Pirates, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Noah Hiles. "Sources: Jhostynxon Garcia is expected to join the Pirates tomorrow in St.
Louis," Hiles wrote on Monday on X. "'The Password' is heading to the major leagues. " There is no official transaction yet, but Garcia is expected to fill Nick Yorke's spot on the roster.
