Bennett was traded from the Nationals to the Red Sox on Monday in exchange for Luis Perales, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
In what should not come as much of a surprise, Paul Toboni made a trade with his old club, the Boston Red Sox. The trade itself is a bit surprising and a bit random. It is a prospect for prospect swap, with the Nationals trading Jake Bennett to the Red Sox for Luis Perales.
For the Red Sox, that pitcher is physically imposing left-hander Jake Bennett, the Nationals’ No. 11 prospect as ranked by MLB Pipeline, who immediately jumps into the No. 7 spot on the Red Sox rankings.
