On Sunday afternoon it was announced by the Red Sox that former reliever Hector Velazquez will be making his way to Baltimore. The righty was designated for assignment last week in order to make room on the roster for Collin McHugh. Neither move comes as a surprise as Boston works towards building a strong team for 2020.
Velazquez first debuted with the Red Sox in 2017 and has been used mostly as a reliever since then. He has been called upon to start games when the moment is dire enough but his tenure was mostly spent coming from the bullpen.
