The Red Sox swung a late-night trade with the Twins on Wednesday to bring in some additional bullpen reinforcements.

The Red Sox made a late-night trade for a hard-throwing reliever who has spent parts of the last seven seasons with the Twins.

Following the Twins 6-2 win at Target Field over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night, Jorge Alcala was called into manager Rocco Baldelli's office. He was told he had been traded. He went back out to the locker room and exchanged hugs with teammates.

Jorge Alcalá, 29, has struggled this season in Minnesota — sporting an 8.88 ERA over 24.1 innings of work. The post Red Sox acquire hard-throwing reliever in trade with Twins appeared first on Boston.

The Twins dealt struggling reliever Jorge Alcala to the Red Sox on Wednesday in exchange for minor leaguer Andy Lugo.

The Red Sox are 34-36 and down two righty relievers with Liam Hendriks and Justin Slaten on the injured list, so they’ll hope Alcala can find his form and help cover some innings from the right side.
