The Chicago Cubs shipped minor-league shortstop Marco Hernandez to the Boston Red Sox on Monday to complete the July trade that brought left-hander Felix Doubront to the north side of Chicago.
Doubront appeared disappointed after being relegated to Boston's bullpen in June, and was shortly thereafter traded to the Cubs for a player to be named later.
Hernandez, a 22-year-old native of the Dominican Republic, hit .270/.315/.351 with three home runs and 22 stolen bases over 122 games with the Daytona Cubs of the High-A Florida State League in 2014. The young shortstop will open the 2015 season with the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs.
