Boston acquired a 2025 Competitive Balance Round A — which is No. 33 — in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers for pitcher Quinn Priester. The Red Sox forfeited their second-round pick when Alex Bregman signed with the team in February, but received a compensatory draft pick after Nick Pivetta signed with the San Diego Padres in free agency.

The Boston Red Sox starter goes into the All-Star break boasting a 6.12 ERA. And while he showed signs of a turnaround over his last two starts, The Athletic’s Jayson Stark still gave Buehler the American League first half “Cy Yuk.”
