From the Rangers’ executive vice president of communications, John Blake …
Rangers have acquired RHP Anthony Ranaudo from Boston for LHP Robbie Ross, Jr. Ranaudo was International Lea. Pitcher of Year in 2014.
— John Blake (@RangerBlake) January 27, 2015
Ranaudo failed to impress in the major leagues last season with the Red Sox, posting a 4.81 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in seven starts, but the 25-year-old has good minor league numbers and will give the Texas Rangers rotation depth for the 2015 season and beyond. Ross, also 25 years old, owns a 3.27 ERA in 145 2/3 innings as a reliever at the big league level. He has a 5.70 ERA in 60 innings as a starter. He’ll be a nice bullpen addition for Boston.
