Overview

• The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired right-handed pitcher Quinn Priester from the Boston Red Sox to address their depleted starting rotation caused by multiple injuries.
• In exchange, the Red Sox received 19-year-old outfield prospect Yophery Rodriguez, a Competitive Balance Round A draft pick (33rd overall), and a player to be named later.
• Priester, 24, has struggled in the majors with a 6.23 ERA over 21 appearances but has shown promise in the minors with a 3.61 ERA across 87 games.
• To make room for Priester on the 40-man roster, the Brewers designated right-handed reliever Grant Wolfram for assignment.
• The trade has prompted mixed reactions, with Red Sox fans questioning the decision to part with Priester so soon after acquiring him last year.
