MINNEAPOLIS -- The Red Sox traded reliever Bryan Corey to the pitching-starved San Diego Padres for a player to be named and cash considerations.

Corey had two stints with Boston, twice being designated for assignment and ultimately re-signed to a Pawtucket contract.
Corey was 0-0 with a 10.50 earned-run average in seven appearances totaling six innings for Boston.
The right-hander, who was with the PawSox when the trade was announced, worked a scoreless ninth inning in a Padres win yesterday.
Manager Terry Francona, who championed Corey when he had the opportunity, was happy to see he’s back in the big leagues.
“It was tough for him. He was the odd man out here. Now he’s in the big leagues. Good for him. You don’t want to lose pitching, but you want the best for guys like that. This is a good day for him,” said Francona.
