The Boston Red Sox, who have been reportedly scouting Jeremy Hellickson, struck a major deal that could affect how Klentak approaches this months’ trade deadline.
According to multiple reports, Boston has acquired promising young left-hander Drew Pomeranz from the San Diego Padres.
In exchange, the Red Sox will send one of their top prospects to the west coast.

Anderson Espinoza, who is ranked by Baseball America as the 15th best prospect in baseball, will be the lone compensation for San Diego, a team that went on a spending spree not that long ago.
