The Boston Red Sox have traded right-handed pitcher David Pauley to the Baltimore Orioles for right-handed reliever Randor Bierd. Pauley had been designated for assignment last week when John Smoltz was added to the 40-man roster.
Pauley was 0-1 with a 11.68 ERA in 6 appearances (2 starts) for the Red Sox last year while Bierd was 0-2 with a 4.91 ERA in 29 appearances for the Orioles.
In 9 appearances (5 starts) in his career, Pauley is 0-3 with a 9.53 ERA.
Bierd is a non-roster addition and could be given an invitation to spring training with a chance to earn a spot in the Red Sox bullpen.
