Brewers, Red Sox Complete MLB's Best 2025 Trade

The Boston Red Sox have found a key asset in Brayan Bello, who has emerged as a strong No. 2 starter behind ace Garrett Crochet, posting career-best numbers that have significantly raised Boston's postseason potential. Despite a mixed 2024, Bello’s 3.07 ERA and 1.222 WHIP through 23 starts in 2025 demonstrate his value, especially in recent months where his performance has improved further. Meanwhile, the Red Sox executed several trades, including acquiring Steven Matz and Dustin May before the trade deadline, but the most impactful move involved trading young pitcher Quinn Priester to the Milwaukee Brewers in April. Priester has excelled in Milwaukee with an 11-2 record and 3.44 ERA, leading to praise that this was the best trade of the 2025 MLB season from the Brewers' perspective. The Brewers have flourished this year, holding a strong division lead, with Priester playing a pivotal role in their success, winning 15 consecutive games he pitched in. Additionally, former Yankees prospect Carlos Narvaez has made a notable impact with the Red Sox, particularly excelling against his former team in recent games.
