Sounds like the Pirates got the better side of this trade!The Red Sox are finalizing a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates for right-hander Quinn Priester, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported Monday. Boston will send infield prospect Nick Yorke to Pittsburgh in the deal.
Priester, 23, was the Pirates' first-round pick (18th overall) in the 2019 MLB Draft. He has a 6.46 ERA over 20 major league appearances with Pittsburgh (14 starts) and has allowed 25 earned runs in 44.2 innings (5.04 ERA) this season.
Yorke, Boston's first-round pick in the 2020 MLB Draft (17th overall), is the No. 6 prospect in the team's system, per MLB Pipeline. The second baseman/left fielder was promoted to the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox in early June and was hitting .310 with six home runs and 19 RBIs for the WooSox as of Monday.
Yorke doesn't have much range or a glove but he's hit over 300 at every level. I seen him play a few games in low A at Salem a few years back. I was expecting him to go or play RH DH at Boston not 2nd . With Hamilton and maybe Grissom soon they might squeeze by on 2nd base. Another option is that Rafella showing an outstanding glove at SS maybe they will move Mayer to 2nd base I was also expecting a better pitcher than Priester and the Sox to give up multiple prospects. Preister was ranked the 6th highest prospect in the Pirates ORG a couple years back and pitched well in A and AA and decent in AAA. Maybe the scouts see something that his stats don't show. I haven't watched him pitch |

I was wondering if in order to make a trade for a starter or reliever they had to come up w/ 2-3 pitching prospects as has been the case with other trades involving pitching recently ... The Padres sent the Rays three prospects for right-hander Jason Adam, including their No. 1 pitching prospect, Dylan Lesko. The Phillies shipped two well-regarded pitchers to the Angels for right-hander Carlos Estevez. The Diamondbacks used their Nos. 14 and 30 prospects to acquire A.J. Puk from the Marlins.
PS: Justin Turner (1B) traded from Toronto to Seattle for RJ Schreck |

Why the Quinn Priester-Nick Yorke trade is a win for Red Sox
Did the Red Sox get a fair trade by swapping Nick Yorke for Quinn Priester?
John Tomase breaks down Boston’s reported deal with the Pirates.
... This is exactly the kind of move Craig Breslow should be making. Yorke belonged to an area of surplus, and Priester represents the kind of high-upside arm the Red Sox should be prioritizing. We shouldn't expect Priester to solve any immediate pitching needs, however, because this feels more like a later move than a now one.
Both players were first-round picks, with Priester going 18th in the 2019 draft and Yorke 17th a year later. Both have played in the Futures Game, and both were once considered top-50 overall prospects.
Still, there's plenty to work with, and a track record of success in the minors. Priester is primarily a sinker-slider pitcher who keeps the ball on the ground over half the time. Unfortunately, when it's hit in the air, it tends to go far. He remains very much a work in progress.
The fact that Yorke was the one to go should be of little surprise. According to multiple rival executives, the Red Sox shopped him aggressively in an attempt to capitalize on his scorching performance at Triple-A Worcester, where he's hitting .310 with six homers in 38 games. The 2020 first round pick had mostly fallen out of the team's top 10 on various prospect lists, however, because of concerns over his defense and future position in the big leagues.
He opened the year as the organization's No. 6 prospect according to MLB.com, but sat at No. 14 according to Baseball America, No. 13 per Fangraphs, and No. 12 per SoxProspects.com.
Yorke represents an intriguing prospect in that he's 22 and basically big-league ready, with a pure hit tool that ranks slightly above average. He has experimented with his stance throughout the minor leagues, but hasn't recaptured the excitement of his 2021 debut, when he hit .325 between two levels.
There are concerns over how well his glove will play at second in the big leagues, and whether he'll hit for enough power to justify a spot in left field. He's expendable because of the impressive depth the Red Sox have built in the middle infield, a group that includes not just the organization's No. 1 overall prospect in shortstop Marcelo Mayer, but also slugging second baseman Kristian Campbell, international signees Franklin Arias and Yoellin Cespedes, athletic shortstop Nazzan Zanetello, and potential utilityman Chase Meidroth, who's also hitting well in his Triple-A debut.
All told, six of the team's top 12 prospects are middle infielders.
It makes sense, then, that the Red Sox would trade from within this group, and Yorke seemed like a strong candidate to be moved. The fact that the Red Sox were able to follow through on Breslow's goal of upgrading their pitching depth via their middle infield depth represents a step in the right direction, even if it might not help a ton right away.

Kristan Campbell is tearing up AA has 1060 ops and a .486 OB%. Better #s than Devers had A few years back i could watch live AAA AA free. Not any more IDT. I'll try tomorrow no games scheduled today in AAA or AA. Can't drive to Portland or Worchester but i can take in game in Salem Va just a two hour drive. Like i said Yorke was never going to make it at 2nd for the Sox... At best DH with little power. Basically they gave away nothing. We'll see how Preister does he'll be called up this year. As we speak it's not a loss. It may be a win Cora resigned for the future i don't see us making big moves this year. |

Okay, I'm convinced that Yorke was the player to go. And we have lots of reclamation projects on our pitching staff, so maybe this kid can give us something by the end of the season and into the future.
Guess I believed the hype on Yorke. This is why baseball is #2!! LOL

While I like this trade in a vacuum, I cant help but think its just more of the same. Complete aversion to picking a lane.
Over the last 3 deadlines +, the sox havent been either buyers or sellers. Nor are they focusing on either the past or the present in the offseason.
Really, its more of a 50/50, and they have just been so directionless. We've had opportunities to get help to make the deadline or sell off pending free agents, instead, we usually choose neither - thinking we want to remain competitive in the short term, but not really push for short term improvements and forgoing selling on impending free agents.
This non-committal to one way (present vs future) is what I believe got Bloom fired, and now Bres who said he would commit to a lane (either buy or sell)....We see a DFA'd washed up pitcher acquired for a non prospect. A backup catcher acquired for a prospect very low on our list and a prospect for prospect trade.
It feels like more of the same. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Were moving laterally for the most part. We should have traded our best pending free agent O'Neill for a proven pitcher. His gold glove games are over he misplayed 2 fly balls in left against the Yankees that cost us a game. One exception. Having said that Cora didn't sign a 3 year deal to coach a .500 team. Bloom and Cora were not friends something is changing. Not the same old Boss unless Cora is being lied to He has been assured we will spend big . When? Probably in the offseason not this year. Our rookies have the highest rating in baseball i'm not convinced we won't field a competitive team next year. It took the Celtics 16 years to build a championship meanwhile the Sox have won four in the past 14 years |

Sox just got a reliever but moar to be done!
Red Sox acquire righty reliever Lucas Sims in trade with Reds
By Darren Hartwell
The Boston Red Sox went into the MLB trade deadline seeking bullpen help, and they're already adding in that category. The Red Sox have acquired right-handed reliever Lucas Sims from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for minor-league right-hander Ovis Portes, the team confirmed Tuesday. Sims, 30, has a 3.57 ERA with 40 strikeouts in 35.1 innings for Cincinnati this season. The 19-year-old Portes was most recently with the Single-A Salem Red Sox in Boston's organization. |

Red Sox exploring multiple scenarios as deadline nears
By Darren Hartwell
Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow is leaving no stone unturned, it appears.
According to The Boston Globe's Alex Speier, the Red Sox are exploring "any number of scenarios" ahead of the 6 p.m. ET deadline, including "rentals and controllable additions, starters and relievers, pitchers and position players."
Boston has been linked to players in all of the above categories, so it seems like it's a matter of whether Breslow can find the right price for any number of potential trade targets.

Cora talks bullpen addition Lucas Sims
By John Tomase, Red Sox Insider
Red Sox manager Alex Cora on newest acquisition Lucas Sims, who is expected to get an opportunity to throw high-leverage innings:
"Good slider, good cutter. We need arms. We've been talking about this for a while. I think we've got a good one. Just get him here as soon as possible, and he'll be a part of this. I think he's flying in tonight, so most likely activated tomorrow."

Price for relievers remains high as Padres pay up for Tanner Scott
By John Tomase, Red Sox Insider
The price for relievers continues to be insane.
The Marlins capitalized by sending closer Tanner Scott and setup man Bryan Hoeing to the Padres for San Diego's third-, fourth- and sixth-ranked prospects: left-hander Robby Snelling, right-hander Adam Mazur, and third baseman Graham Pauley, as well as another lower-ranked prospects.
The Red Sox remain in the hunt for relief help, but it's fair to ask what they'll be able to land in the next hour at these prices.

Meet the new guys: Full list of Red Sox deadline additions
Did Boston get enough help for the final two months of the season?
By Justin Leger •
The Boston Red Sox were active at the 2024 MLB trade deadline, but did they do enough to give themselves an edge in the American League playoff race?
First-year chief baseball officer Craig Breslow made four trades ahead of Tuesday's 6 p.m. ET deadline. Although none were the blockbuster moves many Sox fans likely were hoping for, they addressed needs for this season while adding another high-upside player to the pipeline.
Get to know all four deadline additions below. Note: This post will be updated if more moves are made by 6 p.m.
James Paxton, LHP
A look at 35 year-old lefty James Paxton, who the Red Sox acquired from the Dodgers for a minor-league infielder
OK, Paxton technically isn't "new." The 35-year-old left-hander spent 2022 and 2023 in Boston but was plagued by injuries during his tenure. He missed all of 2022 due to Tommy John recovery and had multiple stints on the injured list last season because of hamstring and knee issues.
Paxton signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers in free agency. Ironically, he was their most durable starting pitcher with 18 starts before being traded to the Red Sox -- just one fewer than all of 2022 and 2023 combined.
In those starts, "Big Maple" amassed an 8-2 record with a 4.43 ERA and 1.45 WHIP. He notched 64 strikeouts to 48 walks, so he'll need to work on his command with Red Sox pitching coach Andrew Bailey over the next couple of months.
Paxton isn't the ace many Red Sox fans were clamoring for, but this was a low-risk trade with fairly high upside for Craig Breslow and Co. He's a solid depth addition to the back end of the rotation and all he cost was 17-year-old minor-league shortstop Moises Bolivar.
Paxton will make his 2024 Red Sox debut against the team he started his big-league career with, the Seattle Mariners, on Tuesday night.
Danny Jansen, C
 John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports
Breslow stated numerous times leading up to the deadline that a right-handed bat was among Boston's biggest needs. He got one in Danny Jansen, though the veteran catcher likely isn't what many had in mind.
Jansen, 29, had a .212/.310/.373 slash line with six homers and 18 RBI through 61 games for the Toronto Blue Jays this season. While those numbers won't excite Sox fans who hoped to add a difference-maker to the lineup, they don't tell the full story.
As Breslow explained shortly after the trade, Jansen's swing and approach at the plate make him an intriguing fit.
"Danny gives us a right-handed bat that should play very well at Fenway," he said. "He hits the ball really hard and in the air, which is especially advantageous in our ballpark. We liked our catching situation coming into the deadline but saw an opportunity to strengthen that group."
The advanced metrics back up Breslow's statement. Jansen has pulled the ball 51.9 percent of the time this season with a 35.8 fly-ball percentage, per Baseball Savant. Theoretically, he should have a blast hitting with the Green Monster in left field. He also doesn't swing and miss often as he ranks in the 95th percentile in chase rate and 76th percentile in whiff rate.
The Red Sox designated Reese McGuire for assignment after the deal, so Jansen will take over as Connor Wong's backup. Boston parted ways with a trio of prospects -- infielders Cutter Coffey and Eddinson Paulino and pitcher Gilberto Batista -- to acquire him.
Quinn Priester, RHP
Tomase: Priester a ‘work in progress', but long-term upside for Sox
John Tomase breaks down the good and bad after the Red Sox trade for Pirates reliever Quinn Priester.
In a swap of high-upside prospects, the Red Sox acquired Priester from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for second baseman Nick Yorke.
Priester, 23, probably won't factor into the starting rotation this season unless absolutely necessary. The 2019 first-round draft pick hasn't fared well through 20 big-league appearances (14 starts), posting a 6.46 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over the last two seasons. He's a work in progress that Boston hopes will benefit from a change of scenery and a chance to work with Andrew Bailey.
That won't appease the restless fans yearning for a pitcher who can make an immediate impact on the rotation. However, Priester is an intriguing addition for those willing to look beyond 2024. The former top prospect is under team control until 2030, giving Bailey and the Red Sox coaching staff plenty of time to make the tweaks needed to help him regain his dominant form.
Priester has found success at the Triple-A level this season, posting a 3.21 ERA and 2.85 FIP with 9.6 strikeouts per nine innings.
Lucas Sims, RHP
 Albert Cesare/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK
The Red Sox addressed their most pressing need -- bullpen help -- by acquiring right-handed reliever Lucas Sims from the Cincinnati Reds. They shipped minor-league right-hander Ovis Portes to Cincinnati in the deal.
Sims, 30, has a 3.57 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 43 appearances (35.1 innings) this season. He has excelled at inducing weak contact, boasting an 86.1 mph average exit velocity that puts him in the 95th percentile among pitchers.
Sims' home/road splits this season are staggering. In Cincinnati, he owned a 0.83 ERA and a .162 batting average against with a 0.92 WHIP. On the road, he had a 7.90 ERA, .321 BA, and 2.20 WHIP.
Expect Sims to help a bullpen that has been noticeably taxed as of late. He wasn't the biggest name on the relief market, but he'll upgrade the roster without costing Breslow and the front office an arm and a leg. Given the hefty price for pitching ahead of this deadline, that's a win for Boston.

Luis García Acquired in Trade with Angels Ahead of 2024 MLB Deadline
By Doric Sam
The Boston Red Sox added some depth to their banged-up bullpen prior to the MLB trade deadline on Tuesday.
Per Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Red Sox acquired relief pitcher Luis García in a deal with the Los Angeles Angels.
García made 45 appearances for the Angels this year and has a 5-1 record with a 3.71 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 43.2 innings pitched. The 12-year veteran also has a career-high four saves along with two blown saves this year.
The Red Sox needed to improve their bullpen depth, as relievers Chris Martin and Justin Slaten are both on the 15-day injured list with elbow injuries. Veteran closer Liam Hendriks remains on the 60-day IL amid his continued recovery from Tommy John surgery.
PS:
5:45pm: First baseman Niko Kavadas, infielder Matthew Lugo and pitchers Yeferson Vargas and Ryan Zeferjahn are the players going to the Angels, reports Sam Blum of the Athletic
Baseball America had Lugo ranked Boston’s No. 23 prospect. The 23-year-old outfielder batted .285 with a .375 on-base percentage, .567 slugging percentage, .942 OPS, 16 homers, 20 doubles, four triples, 54 RBIs, 48 runs, 32 walks, 74 strikeouts and 16 steals in 78 games combined between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester this season.
Garcia has a 3.71 ERA (43 ⅔ innings, 18 earned runs), 3.68 FIP and 1.17 WHIP in 45 relief appearances for the Angels this year. Opponents have batted .226 against him. He’s averaging 8.2 strikeouts and 2.9 walks per nine innings.
Garcia was in his second stint with the Angels. His first was in 2019 when Red Sox pitching coach Andrew Bailey served as Angels bullpen coach.
He’s earning $4.250 million in 2024 and will be a free agent this coming offseason.
He throws hard. He’s in the 85th percentile in average fastball velocity (96.3 mph). He throws a sinker, split-finger fastball, sweeper, slider, four-seamer and cutter, according to Baseball Savant.
He also is in the 86th percentile in ground ball percentage (51.2%).
He has been in the major leagues for 12 years and has spent time with the Angels, Phillies, Padres, Cardinals and Rangers. He has a 4.02 ERA in 530 career outings (four starts).

Beat me by 12 minutes. You filled up this thread... The deadline was over at 6PM ET. So i'm guessing this is the last trade Looks like the Sox are competing this year or making an effort. I suppose no one is happy because Henry still isn't pissing away money. I'm watching Worchester as we speak . |

Took Paxton out too soon - 5 so far in 5th and loaded w/ 2 outs! Yep. Paxton was an upgrade over who followed him... Cora needed those relievers we picked up last month Why did we wait to the trade deadline? I can't watch anymore tonight and i exhausted all my resources to watch AAA games free. I like this youth and speed we have Duran Rafaella Abreau and Wong that's about all that holds my interest sans Devers. Hamilton might make it might not If the Orioles or Yankees get hot the field will soon be too muddy to plow. We've not done well drafting or developing pitchers in the minors i see no help there for years. Maybe we can buy a real UFA pitcher next year.... |

I got the impression that they "intend to spend" bigly on FA's and bring up prospects ready for the bigs next season ... just like to see them compete the remainder of this season and see what happens. Not expecting anything more than a few playoff games ... would be nice.

Good stuff guys, agree with both of you. I agree with you, Dee that I dont get why teams wait. We could have used some pen help and a first baseman months ago. Would be in a better position now. Im not bullish on our chances to make playoffs this year, partly because of a tough schedule. But Im not ruling it out , with us right there in the race.
I think they can be competitive next year, will be interesting to see if they give the youngins a shot or sign free agents this offseason.
Coming off the books after this year are Jansen, Jansen, the 2 BP acquisitions, Paxton, Pivetta, and Oneill.
The OF next year is likely Cedanne and Duran as locks, then they may go with an Abreu/Refsnyder platoon or try to upgrade. Oneill is a possibility to be brought back also.
middle infield - you have Story, Hamilton, Cedanne again (bt I think they try to keep him in OF), of course Story and mayer. I guess you can count Grissom , who at this point, will prob have to earn his way back into the picture. So will be interesting there to see if they bring in a guy
Obviously theyll have to make bullpen acquisitions for next year and those could zap up a large portion of the budget. They do have Hendricks coming back, and I expect Whitlock will be in the bullpen. So that may soften the blow.
Starters: Houck, Crawford, Giolitto, Bello, so I think theres room for a very good starter in the offseason. Maybe that will be our marquee offseason acquisition

Bottom of the 7th ... tied at 2 (0 outs/man on 1st) Bello was decent or good enough. Cora pitched Sims today in relief He looked good Jansen started at catcher got 2 hits. Wong needed a rest and now we can use one catcher for a RH DH if needed. Cora wasted no time on playing the newly acquired players. Devers with a walk off double in the 10th. The bad. Yanks and Orioles win.. |
