The Texas Rangers have acquired the starting pitcher from the Arizona Diamondbacks, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported on Thursday. The Boston Red Sox were said to be in strong pursuit of the right-hander. MLB Network’s Joel Sherman reported three prospects are going to Arizona, including Kohl Drake and David Hagaman.

Despite unloading Rafael Devers and his entire contract, the Red Sox might be financially hamstrung to make any big splashes before the MLB trade deadline.

In the immediate aftermath of the deadline, it doesn't feel like the Red Sox did much of anything, let alone enough to solidify them as a serious playoff team.
