RYAN COOK HEADS TO THE RED SOX
The Boston Red Sox acquired pitcher Ryan Cook from the Oakland Athletics for cash considerations or a player to be named later.
What does it give the Boston Red Sox
For the Red Sox, this season has been a disaster. Adding a reliever like Cook is a good gamble at this point, with absolutely no downside. The pitching staff hasn't been a team strength in 2015, so Boston management continues to search for answers.
What does it give the Oakland Athletics
The Athletics decided to part ways with Cook, who spent parts of four seasons in Oakland but had only appeared in four big-league games this year. In exchange for Cook, the A's received cash considerations.
Fantasy impact
There's no fantasy value for Cook until/unless he returns to the big leagues and becomes a prominent member of the Boston bullpen.
