Report: Red Sox trade Kevin Pillar to Rockies

The Red Sox are continuing to move players ahead of Monday’s 4 p.m. trade deadline.

The Sox traded outfielder Kevin Pillar — a free-agent-to-be following this season — to the Colorado Rockies. According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Red Sox will receive a player to be named as well as international bonus pool money in exchange for the veteran.

Pillar, who signed a one-year, $4.25 million deal with the Sox in spring training, emerged as an everyday outfielder after Andrew Benintendi got injured. He hit .274/.325/.470 while engaging in almost nightly acts of self-sacrifice in right field.
