The Boston Red Sox, who have been without an everyday first baseman since Triston Casas suffered a season-ending injury, have found a potential replacement.

The Boston Red Sox acquired first baseman Ryan Noda from the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday in a deal for cash. Noda had been designated for assignment by the Angels before the trade that gives the Red Sox another possible option at first base.

For the Red Sox, first base remains a difficult spot to fill. The team announced a trade for a depth option at the position on Thursday.
