Red Sox-Pirates make trade

The Boston Red Sox acquired infielder/outfielder Hoy Park in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Red Sox sent minor league lefthander Inmer Lobo to Pittsburgh for Park, who was designated for assignment Tuesday when the Pirates claimed first baseman Lewin Diaz off waivers from Miami. The 26-year-old Park made his big league debut with the New York Yankees in July 2021. Park and infielder Diego Castillo were traded to Pittsburgh that same month for reliever Clay Holmes. Park, a native of Seoul, South Korea, hit .216 (11 for 51) with 2 home runs and 6 RBI for Pittsburgh this season. He has appeared in 68 career big league games, batting .201 with 5 home runs and 20 RBI.
