The Red Sox acquired Reese McGuire from the White Sox in exchange for Jake Diekman.
The Red Sox traded for former first round pick Reese McGuire. In 53 games with the White Sox this season McGuire had a .546 OPS and a 55 wRC+. Although, McGuire has had a good defensive season so far in 2022. Being in the 60th percentile for pop time to 2B, and having the 7th fastest exchange time in the league (0.67 sec). He is also worth 2 framing runs, and 6 DRS this season.
The White Sox got LHP Jake Diekman in return for McGuire. Diekman who had a resurgence during the 2020 Covid season, has struggled with the Red Sox so far this season. In 44 games with the Red Sox he posted a 4.23 ERA and a 4.54 xFIP. He was still striking out over 11 hitters per 9, but the walks became a large issue with the Red Sox, Diekman had a 7.04 BB/9.
The Red Sox acquired a defense first catcher that will help fill the void at catcher after they traded Christian Vazquez. The White Sox got a high strikeout reliever, that can throw in some high leverage situations if he can limit the amount of walks allowed.
