The Boston Red Sox are trending upwards fighting for a playoff spot while the Detroit Tigers are heading in the opposite direction currently sitting 7.5 games behind the Red Sox in the Wild Card chase for the 2024 postseason. Today the two teams made a trade as the Red Sox acquired Trey Wingenter from the Tigers in exchange for CJ Weins.

Trade By The Numbers

RHP – Trey Wingenter

Wingenter made his Tigers debut last season making 17 appearances going 1-0 with a 5.82 ERA, a 3.96 FIP, a 1.35 WHIP, and 22 strikeouts in 17 innings. This season he’s been pitching at Triple-A Toledo going 4-4 with a 3.31 ERA, a 1.47 WHIP, a 4.7 BB/9, and a 13.2 K/9 in 32.2 innings. Could be a nice piece for the Red Sox bullpen and a project for Andrew Bailey to figure out.

RHP – CJ Weins

Weins was drafted in the sixth round of last season’s draft. He’s made 20 appearances going 0-2 with a 4.62 ERA, a 1.42 WHIP, a 6.0 BB/9, and a 10.7 K/9 in 25.1 innings. This season at Single-A Greenville he’s made 19 appearances going 0-2 with a 4.81 ERA, a 1.44 WHIP, a 5.9 BB/9, and a 10.7 K/9.
