Red Sox Trade Zach Penode from Dozers

Dozers and red sox have agreed to a business that will send to the left -handed batsman Zach Penroad From Boston to Los Angeles, Reports Chris Kotilo of Masslive.com. SOX nominated Penode for assignment earlier this week Rafael Davers Blockbusters, because they were receiving two 40-magistrate players (Jordan Hicks, Kyle Harrison) And only one business.

The 28 -year -old Penode is an interesting story. He signed as an unpublished free agent with Rangers in 2018 and picked his system briefly in his system before it was loose during the epidemic 2020 season. He then spent three years in the independent pioneer league in pitching in the independent pioneer league before catching the eyes of Red Sax Scouts and returning to the concerned ball.

In 2024, a nice modest league, which showed many levels, pushed the penroad to a 40-man roster. He threw 62 2/3 frames at three levels and logged in 4.16 ERA with a huge 34.8% strike rate, but similarly heavy 12.4% walk rate. Sax called him to the big companies in the second half of the season, and he played four innings under the stretch, scoring four runs on three hits and four runs with three strikes.

The penroad was in the mixture for a bullpen spot in the 2025 season, but a elbow injury in spring training excluded her for about three months. He returned to the mound in late May and played 7 1/3 Minor League innings. It is a mixed bag. He punched nine out of 36 batsmen (25%) to allow four runs and only seven hits. However, he also released seven walks, immersed a batsman and thrown three wild pitches.

The command has never been a particularly strong suit, but also understands that there is some rust after detecting the elbow inflammation in late February and did not get back on a mound in a sports setting until 24 May. This year Penroad's 95 mph average fastball is a match for their 2024 mark.

Penroads will give a hard-stretched latfty with clear bat-missing capacity to the darses and, severely, the three minor league options remain a full slate of years. Los Angeles churns through the last few places of their bulpanes – if the game does not exceed any other team, flexible weapons with a normal skill set of penodes are always going to be somewhat attractive to doors.
