3:27 p.m.: The agreement is now in place, adds Rosenthal on Twitter.
12:55: Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports (via Twitter) the Red Sox will send a minor league player Esteban Quiroz in San Diego in exchange for Brewer.
Quiroz, 27 in February, spent most of his career playing with the Quintana Roo Tigers in the Mexican League, but signed with the Red Sox in 2017 for his first affiliate ball season. He beat .299 / .413 / .598 with seven home runs in 104 appearances at the plate against younger competitions in Double-A last year. He also made a strong impression in the Arizona Autumn League, beating .267 / .452 / .511 with two homers, three doubles and one triple in 62 APs. He played a lot in the second, base-stop and third in his career in Mexico, but the Red Sox used him only as a second baseman.
12:29: The Red Sox are approaching an agreement to acquire the right-handed Colten Brewer Padres, tweets Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. A minor player who does not need to be added to the Padres' list of 40 players to be protected before the Rule 5 deadline today will be back.
This is a minor exchange designed to give the Padres some flexibility in their list of teams by 8:00 pm (ET) tonight – the deadline for teams to protect players from the selection in draft rule 5 of the month next. Brewer, the fourth-round pick of the Pirates in 2011, has just 9 innings and three-thirds of major league experience, all with the Padres in 2018. He has been scoring for six earned runs on 15 hits and seven goals on bullets with 10 scratches at that time, but he was much better in Triple-A El Paso. Despite the attacker's friendly nature in his home environment in Triple-A, Brewer scored a deserving average of 3.75 with a more impressive 11.8 K / 9 against 2.8 BB / 9 with a rate of increase of 55.8% in 48 rounds.
Brewer has only recently celebrated his 26th birthday and he still has two years of minor league opener. It will give the Red Sox a little depth in the paddock that can be traveled between Boston and Pawtucket next season. For the Padres, the exchange will open a place in the current alignment of 40 people. This is one of many jobs they could do today, as Rosenthal noted. Rowan Wick could be moving soon (in a separate agreement).
