Red Sox Acquire Franklin Morales From Rockies, Designate Hideki Okajima

Morales is a hard throwing left-hander with strikeout stuff, but his control has always left something to be desired. He’s walked 5.3 batters for every nine innings he’s pitched over his career, which has spanned parts of five seasons for the Rockies. He had eight walks and 11 strikeouts in 14 innings this season.
