The Boston Red Sox have traded right-handed pitcher Quinn Priester to the Milwaukee Brewers following Priester's unsuccessful spring training performance, which included a 4.82 ERA over four games. Acquired in July via a trade with Pittsburgh, Priester had limited success with Boston, highlighted by one solid appearance last September. The Red Sox will receive outfielder Yophery Rodriguez, a significant draft pick, and options for future players, indicating a strategic move to bolster their farm system amidst a competitive pitching landscape.
The Red Sox are trading righthander Quinn Priester to the Brewers, ending Priester's brief tenure in Boston after he struggled to crack Boston's revamped rotation.
Priester allowed 14 hits and walked seven batters over 9 ⅓ innings in spring training, and with the ascension of Richard Fitts and Sean Newcomb within an strengthened Sox pitching staff, Priester became the odd man out.
Boston will receive minor league outfielder Yophery Rodriguez - Milwaukee's seventh-ranked prospect - a Competitive Balance Round A selection in the 2025 draft, and a player to be named later or cash considerations.
Rodriguez is a 19-year-old outfielder playing in A-plus ball. He slashed .250/.343/.383 in a full season of single-A reps in 2024.
