The Red Sox have made a trade. It is not one of the rumored deals we’ve been waiting for with one of the high-priced players being jettisoned off the roster. Instead, it’s a minor deal in which they get a right-handed reliever from Miami. The team announced on Friday they had acquired Austin Brice in exchange for minor-league shortstop Angeudis Santos.
