Cleveland trades Brad Peacock to Boston

The Cleveland Baseball Club has agreed to a trade which sends the right handed pitcher to the Boston Red Sox.

Brad Peacock has a new home. The Cleveland Baseball Club has traded the veteran right hander to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for cash considerations.

Peacock did not appear in a game for Cleveland this season, as he spent the 2021 season in the minors with Triple-A Columbus. Things did not go particularly well for Peacock as he finished with a 7.68 ERA, 1.559 WHIP, and 10.1 K/9 in 11 games (10 starts).

An interesting aspect to this trade is that Peacock is eligible for the postseason due to not being on Cleveland’s 40-man roster this season as mentioned by Bob Nightengale.

While the quality of that depth could be questionable considering Peacock’s struggles in Triple-A this season and overall decline the past couple of years, it is still a veteran who has postseason experience nonetheless. Perhaps a change of scenery provides a boost for Peacock who never was going to see the field in Cleveland.
