The Red Sox had only gotten Priester when the Pirates gave up on him after a promising minor league career slowed down a tad. But then Boston didn't wait it out with Priester, either.

The Boston Red Sox have been connected to a huge trade for a National League ace by multiple outlets over the past week.

Trade deadline season is beginning to ramp up in earnest, and Milwaukee Brewers fans aren't sure how to feel. On one hand, the Brewers have had a hot last month and are now firmly in the playoff race.
