The Detroit Tigers traded veteran reliever Trey Wingenter to the Boston Red Sox. Wingenter, who is 30 years old, had been pitching for the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens prior to the trade. This season, he had a 5.82 ERA in 17 appearances with the Tigers, marking his first major league action since 2019. Despite these struggles, his underlying metrics were promising, with a 3.43 SIERA and a 3.87 xERA【8†source】【9†source】.
Wingenter’s journey this season included multiple stints between the majors and minors, along with time on the injured list due to shoulder tendinitis.
His performance at Triple-A was also challenging, with an 8.56 ERA over 13.2 innings【9†source】.
The trade gives the Red Sox a chance to add depth to their bullpen as they aim for a stronger second half of the season. Meanwhile, the Tigers continue to make roster adjustments, looking towards building a competitive team for the future【8†source】.
