Red Sox acquire Cardinals pitcher in big trade deadline move

The Boston Red Sox have been involved in trade rumors over the last few weeks leading into the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline. Boston is still discussing Jarren Duran trades with potential suitors. But they are not committed to selling. In fact, Boston added to their roster in a deal involving St. Louis Cardinals reliever Steven Matz.

Matz is going to the Red Sox through trade, as first reported by ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The trade is a one-for-one swap. In exchange for Matz, the Cardinals are acquiring corner infielder Blaze Jordan. Jordan is Boston’s 17th ranked prospect, according to MLB Pipeline.

This is a developing story. More to come.
