Mandatory Credit: Kelley L Cox-Imagn Images The Boston Red Sox acquired catcher Blake Sabol from the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday in return for space in the international bonus pool.
In a corresponding move, the Red Sox designated rookie right-hander Chase Shugart for assignment to create a spot on the 40-man roster.
Sabol, 27, batted 10 for 32 (.313) in 11 games with the Giants last season, when he started seven games at catcher. Sabol batted .235 with 13 home runs and 44 RBIs in 2023, splitting time behind the plate and outfield.
The Giants designated Sabol for assignment last week.
Shugart, 28, made his major league debut on Aug. 14, 2024. He did not record a decision in six relief appearances, allowing four runs in 8 2/3 innings for a 4.15 ERA. He also walked three and struck out eight.
The Red Sox selected Shugart in the 12th round of the 2018 MLB Draft out of the University of Texas.
