"(Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos) put something on the table that I felt like was a step forward for where we needed to go - acquiring starting pitching innings and also improving our defense," Sox general manager Chris Getz said Friday in a video conference call.
"It was an opportunity to really help us in multiple different areas and set us up for more opportunities this offseason," he said.
"I'm fairly confident that one or both will be in our rotation, but we want to create a competitive environment," Getz said. "We will acquire more pitching and we've got younger pitching in our system that will be pushing here shortly."
