A'S ADD RELIEVER MUJICA FROM BOSTON Saturday, May 9, 2015
The Oakland Athletics acquired pitcher Edward Mujica and cash from the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
What does it give the Oakland Athletics?
In Mujica, the Athletics get a veteran right-hander for the bullpen who can provide depth and innings. He has served as a closer in the past, but he is ideally suited for a setup role in the bigs.
What does it give the Boston Red Sox?
The Red Sox had designated Mujica for assignment, so they did well to get something for nothing in this transaction--even if it won't amount to much in the end. Mujica struggled in Beantown.
Fantasy Impact
The 31-year old has some fantasy value as a setup man (in leagues with holds), but don't expect him to see many save opportunities in Oakland.
