Machi had been DFA'd by the Giants. Claimed by Boston this afternoon.
Machi Man had been solid in 2013 and 2014 but not this year, hence the DFA: "Machi struggled for San Francisco this season, but in 2013 and 2014 he logged 119 innings with a 2.49 ERA and 102/30 K/BB ratio as a middle reliever for the Giants.
At age 33 he lacks upside, but Machi is a solid low-cost flier for the Red Sox and should be inexpensive enough to potentially stick around for next season if he pitches well down the stretch."
Giants fans reaction.
Machi is old but he has been good in the recent past. Should hopefully be better than the likes of Aro, Breslow or No Way Ramirez, who've been in the bullpen recently.
