3 years agoMinnesota Twins relief pitcher Hansel Robles has been traded to the Red Sox for right-hander Alex Scherff. Robles was a part of a closer committee with Taylor Rogers in Minnesota but now figures to occupy a setup role with Matt Barnes entrenched as Boston's closer. It's a definite downgrade in value, but Robles could still be worth rostering in leagues that track holds. Scherff has been a strong performer in both Single and Double-A this season, pitching to a 2.45 ERA with a 46:13 strikeout-to-walk ratio across 29 1/3 innings. He projects as a potential contributor at the big league level with a solid fastball-changeup combo.--Tim Capurso
