MATZ MOVED TO BOSTON
The Boston Red Sox acquired pitcher Steven Matz from the St. Louis Cardinals for infielder Blaze Jordan.
What does it give the Boston Red Sox
In Matz, the Red Sox add another left-hander for their bullpen. He has been a solid reliever this season, after struggling to establish himself as a left-handed starter previously.
What does it give the St. Louis Cardinals
In Jordan, the Cardinals are taking a flier on his bat. Jordan can play on an infield corner but his defense is suspect. It is his hitting prowess that may make or break his MLB hopes.
Fantasy impact
Matz is not likely to garner many save chances with the Red Sox. They might use him as a setup man or possibly even as an opener down the stretch. There should be better options. As for Jordan, take a wait-and-see approach with him.
