MLB Trade Rumors reported the Red Sox had designated German for assignment one week ago to clear space on the 40-man roster for newly-acquired left-hander Richard Bleier.
Boston picked up German from New York in the 2021 trade which also sent reliever Adam Ottavino to the Red Sox. German was a fourth-round pick of the Yankees in 2018.

The 25-year-old German made his MLB debut last season, appearing in five games out of the Red Sox bullpen. And it didn’t go well. He gave up eight runs in four innings of work. That’s an ERA of 18.00 for those of you keeping score at home. Per MLB Trade Rumors:
Though his first taste of the majors didn’t go well in terms of results, he did average 97.7 mph on his fastball. He could intrigue other clubs with his youth, excellent performance in the minors last year and full slate of options.
