The Padres have agreed to trade left-hander Drew Pomeranz to the Red Sox, sources tell Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Pomeranz, 27, has this season pitched to a 2.47 ERA (161 ERA+) in 102 innings for the Padres. He just recently appeared in the All-Star Game at Petco Park. A former No. 5 overall pick in 2010, Pomeranz has long been regarded as having front-line stuff, but until this season health and performance had never intersected.
