Red Sox drop Matt Barnes to make room for Adam Duvall

Right-hander Matt Barnes, a 2021 All-Star and a career Red Sox pitcher, will be moving on from Boston.

The Red Sox designated the reliever for assignment on Tuesday to make room on the 40-man roster for free agent acquisition Adam Duvall, a versatile defensive outfielder who also hits for power.

Also on Tuesday, Boston strengthened its middle-infield depth by trading with the Kansas City Royals for Adalberto Mondesi.
