RED SOX ACQUIRE SPEEDSTER BERRY
The Boston Red Sox acquired outfielder Quintin Berry from the Kansas City Royals for pitcher Clayton Mortensen.
What does it give the Boston Red Sox
Berry is a speedy outfielder with big-league experience (Detroit) who will likely fill a role with the Red Sox as a pinch-runner coming off the bench in the month of September.
What does it give the Kansas City Royals
Mortensen has the versatility to either start or relieve, as needed. He could find his way back up to the major leagues in September as a long man out of the Royals' bullpen.
Fantasy impact
Neither Berry nor Mortensen have much fantasy value at the big-league level, since neither will play a prominent role at the highest level.
