The Red Sox acquired Rodriguez, a 2025 Competitive Balance Round A draft pick, and a player to be named later or cash considerations from the Brewers on Monday in exchange for right-hander Quinn Priester.
Injuries have tested Milwaukee's rotation depth in the early going, so the organization was willing to part ways with one of its better lower-level outfield prospects in Rodriguez in order to get another promising young arm in its system. After slashing .250/.343/.383 with seven home runs and six stolen bases over 110 games for Single-A Carolina in 2024, Rodriguez had gotten off to a nice start to 2025 at High-A Wisconsin, going 5-for-12 with a 1:3 BB:K in 13 plate appearances. The 19-year-old is likely to report to Boston's High-A affiliate in Greenville.

Brewers' Yophery Rodriguez: Reaches High-A
Rotowire
Rodriguez was promoted from Single-A Carolina to High-A Wisconsin on Sept. 15.
With the Single-A season in the books, Rodriguez joined the Timber Rattlers for the Midwest League playoffs. Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Game 2 of the Midwest League Championship Series on Tuesday, and Wisconsin will look to close things out in Game 3 against Lake County on Wednesday. Rodriguez didn't create much of a stir in dynasty leagues with his .250/.343/.383 slash line, seven home runs and seven steals in 110 games for Carolina, but it was good for a 117 wRC+ (100 is league average) and he doesn't turn 19 until December. He may not have a standout tool yet, but the lefty-hitting outfielder seems to be decent at everything and he is well ahead of most of his peers.
