The Red Sox acquired pitching prospect David Sandlin from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for reliever John Schreiber. Scouts describe Sandlin as a big, strong pitcher with a mid-90s fastball and a variety of pitches, but note that he has battled command issues and lacks feel. They project him as a potential fourth or fifth starter or a middle-relief role, with the potential to become a back-end starter or multi-inning reliever.
The Boston Red Sox traded John Schreiber to the Kansas City Royals for pitching prospect David Sandlin, who expressed gratitude to the Royals organization and excitement for new beginnings with the Red Sox. Sandlin, a 22-year-old right-hander, has shown promise in High-A ball and college baseball, and the Red Sox hope to develop him into a starting-caliber major leaguer. With an open spot on the 40-man roster, other pitchers are expected to compete for a bullpen spot following Schreiber's departure.
