GABBARD HEADING TO BOSTON

The Boston Red Sox acquired pitcher Kason Gabbard from the Texas Rangers for cash.

What does it give the Boston Red Sox
Gabbard is someone Boston management is familiar with, so perhaps they can get the best out of him this year. He will provide depth but is not expected to pitch in Boston unless injuries strike.

What does it give the Texas Rangers
The Rangers have given up on Gabbard rather quickly but injuries have gotten in the way of the southpaw's development. Other pitchers stepped up for Texas, so Gabbard was expendable.
