The Red Sox acquired reliever Mark Melancon from the Astros for shortstop Jed
Lowrie and starter Kyle Weiland, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.
Weiland, 25, struggled in 24 2/3 innings in his Red Sox debut this year. At
Triple-A, he posted a 3.58 ERA, 8.8 K/9, 3.9 BB/9, and 0.70 HR/9 in 128 1/3
innings. A third-round pick in 2008, Baseball America ranked Weiland 20th
among Red Sox prospects prior to the season. BA says the former Notre Dame
closer "relishes pitching inside" and his "best pitch is a low-90s fastball
that peaks at 95 but is most notable for its hard sink."
