The Boston Red Sox made a deal at Tuesday's trade deadline, but it wasn't the high-impact acquisition that Boston fans had hoped would transpire.
The Red Sox traded for Milwaukee Brewers infielder Luis Urias in exchange for minor league right-handed starter Bradley Blalock. Boston then optioned Urias to Triple-A Worcester.
In 20 big-league games this season, Urias was hitting only .145. He managed only a .233 mark in his 29 games for Triple-A Nashville.
Urias, 26, has a career batting average of .235 in six seasons with the San Diego Padres (2018-19) and Brewers, with 46 homers and 167 RBIs through 413 games.
