But with just hours to go until Opening Day, Boston has acquired a pitcher with a history in Nippon Professional Baseball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_1mu5ffxwh\">The Red Sox and Rays have made a trade that will reportedly bring Naoyuki Uwasawa to Boston\u00a0for cash considerations. The right-hander triggered the assignment clause in his minor-league contract with Tampa Bay, forcing them to find a new home for him.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_1mu5ffxwh\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_4364,h_2454,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/GettyImages\/mmsport\/14\/01ht0t3ap4s8tazkkf56.jpg\" alt=\"2024 Dominican Republic Series - Boston Red Sox v Tampa Bay Rays\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_qb7opi8c4\">Uwasawa pitched nine seasons in NPB to the tune of a 3.42 career ERA. The 30-year-old posted one of the best campaigns of his career in 2023 \u2014\u00a0he logged a 2.96 ERA and it&#8217;s the second time he&#8217;s secured a sub-three figure. Uwasawa pitched 170 innings and logged two complete game shutouts last year, so his durability could benefit Boston greatly. He also registered a 3.02 strikeout-to-walk ratio.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"_2osx105dd\" class=\"tagStyle_1rck2gq-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_2osx105dd\">Red Sox make a trade with rival Rays to acquire former NPB pitcher Naoyuki Uwasawa<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_4364,h_2454,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/GettyImages\/mmsport\/14\/01ht0t3ap4s8tazkkf56.jpg\" alt=\"2024 Dominican Republic Series - Boston Red Sox v Tampa Bay Rays\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_82g0mss1k\">Uwasawa has a deep arsenal of six pitches, including a fastball, splitter, slider, curveball, cutter and changeup. He uses all but the changeup at least 10% of the time, and while Uwasawa has few exceptional pitches, his unpredictability and deception have resulted in success.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_f4pynaguu\">His spring training numbers leave something to be desired, though. Uwasawa made four appearances for the Rays in the Grapefruit League and he racked up a 13.03 ERA over 9.2 innings. He let up 15 hits and 14 earned runs, three of them homers.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_f4pynaguu\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_4364,h_2454,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/GettyImages\/mmsport\/14\/01ht0t3ap4s8tazkkf56.jpg\" alt=\"2024 Dominican Republic Series - Boston Red Sox v Tampa Bay Rays\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_4shl0p52y\">Hopefully, the Red Sox&#8217;s revamped coaching staff will be able to work with Uwasawa to rediscover his 2023 NPB form.
