The San Diego Padres have acquired right-handed relief pitcher Bryan Corey from the Boston Red Sox for a player to be name later or cash.

Corey was outrighted to Triple-A Pawtucket on April 30 by the Red Sox.  In 7 appearances with the Red Sox this year, the 34-year-old poste a 10.50 ERA.

The Padres will hope that Corey can strengthen their bullpen as they attempt to crawl out of the hole they have dug themselves early this year.  Unfortunately, however, Corey cannot hit.  So they’re offense will continue to remain inept.
