The Red Sox added some minor league pitching depth Monday, completing a trade with the Brewers from last month.
Boston acquired right-hander John Holobetz from Milwaukee to complete the April 7 swap that sent righty Quinn Priester to the Brewers. Boston acquired outfielder Yophery Rodriguez, a competitive balance draft pick (33rd overall in this year’s draft) and a player to be named later or cash for Priester. Holobetz is that player.
Holobetz, a Pennsylvania native, was Milwaukee’s fifth-round pick (156th overall) out of Old Dominion University last season. He signed for a $322,500 bonus, which was below slot.
