BOSTON: The Boston Red Sox bolstered their bullpen Wednesday by acquiring reliever Ramon Ramirez from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for center fielder Coco Crisp.
Right-hander Ramirez, 27, is a power pitcher who went 3-2 with one save and a 2.64 ERA in 71 games for the Royals last season.
The Dominican Republic native limited right-handed opponents to a .153 batting average, the lowest in the American League.
