The Boston Red Sox continued to rebuild their pitching staff, acquiring left-hander Jovani Morán on Tuesday from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for catcher and infielder Mickey Gasper.

No team plucked left-handed reliever Jovani Moran from the Twins during the Rule 5 draft earlier this month, despite rumors there were interested clubs, and the Twins opted to trade him a couple of weeks later.

Mickey Gasper isn't the free-agent signing Minnesota Twins fans were hoping to unwrap under the tree on Christmas, but he's what Baseball Santa delivered.
