Trade news: The Boston Red Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates are finalizing a deal that will send right-handed starter Quinn Priester to Boston and infield prospect Nick Yorke to Pitttsburgh, sources tell ESPN.Yorke was a first-round selection of the Red Sox in the 2020 COVID-year draft and is hitting .278 this season between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester.
He has 10 home runs this season with 46 RBI. He's 22 years old. He had been ranked the No. 6 prospect in the Red Sox organization, per MLB.com.Yorke has the sweet right-handed swing and hand-eye coordination to hit for a high average, but he hasn't done so while tinkering with his setup and becoming much more pull-oriented the past two seasons. He's still barreling fastballs but scuffling against breaking balls and changeups.
