The Boston Red Sox have bolstered their minor league pitching depth by acquiring right-hander John Holobetz from the Milwaukee Brewers, completing a trade initiated last month. Holobetz, a fifth-round pick in 2022, has shown promise in Single-A Carolina with a 3.00 ERA over 34 innings, featuring 31 strikeouts and a .180 opponent batting average.

This trade was part of a deal that sent Quinn Priester to Milwaukee, where he has struggled with a 5.79 ERA across 23 ⅓ innings. Holobetz’s collegiate background includes pitching as a reliever at ODU and Radford, and he now adds depth to the Red Sox's pitching prospects.
