Pirates acquire Jeff Larish from Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox made two trades today, with the latest being sending light-hitting first baseman/third baseman Jeff Larish (pictured) to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for cash considerations, according to a team press release.  Larish will be assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis tomorrow.

Larish, 29, previously appeared in the majors in 2010 while playing for the Oakland Athletics. He posted a decent .240 batting average in 75 games for the Phillies' Triple-A affiliate last season, then acquired by the Red Sox last week. 

The earliest move the Red Sox made today was acquiring veteran outfielder Scott Podsednik from the Philadelphia Phillies.
