Red Sox acquire 1st baseman Ryan Noda from Angels for cash
- On May 23, 2025, the Boston Red Sox acquired 29-year-old Ryan Noda, a player previously with the Los Angeles Angels organization, and assigned him to their Triple-A affiliate in Worcester.
- The trade occurred after the Angels designated Noda for assignment, and the Red Sox freed up a spot on their 40-man roster by placing Masataka Yoshida on the long-term injured list.
- Over the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Noda appeared in a total of 164 games with the Oakland Athletics, compiling a.212 batting average. This year, he faced offensive challenges in Triple-A, hitting just.148 with four home runs across 38 games.
- Despite a 2.2 bWAR and 16 homers in 2023, scouts noted Noda's difficulty with off-speed pitches and limited major league impact in 2024, where he hit just.137 in 36 games.
- The Red Sox acquired Noda to add depth at first base after Triston Casas suffered a season-ending knee injury, but they view Noda as a minor depth piece rather than a key contributor.
