The Boston Red Sox have traded for Jahmai Jones from the Detroit Tigers just hours before the MLB All-Star Game. Jones, who had a strong performance against left-handed pitchers last season, has struggled this year with a.137 batting average and two home runs. He was designated for assignment by the Tigers, leading to the trade. The Red Sox will send a player to be named later back to Detroit. Jones will join a roster with many left-handed hitters, aiming to rediscover his success against southpaws.
