The Boston Red Sox made a puzzling move to trade one of their most impactful minor leaguers for a struggling reliever.
Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has stayed active with Tuesday's trade deadline looming but his latest transaction is a head-scratcher."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 Pittsburgh," ESPN's Jeff Passan reported Monday.
The 23-year-old was moved from the rotation to the bullpen recently -- where he's allowed eight earned runs in 13 innings. The good news? Priester is signed through 2030 and will now begin to work with the Red Sox's new pitching development system that has turned around players such as Tanner Houck and Kutter Crawford almost immediately.
