The Boston Red Sox and San Diego Padres appear to be in similar positions on paper -- the former a game behind .500 and the latter a game above.
Most importantly, Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller has always taken an aggressive approach while Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow appears to be much more conservative and has spoken at length about waiting to push his chips in until the team is further along -- though he's yet to handle a trade deadline as the head of baseball operations.
Now if Preller whiffs on the starters with multiple years of team control, Red Sox right-hander Nick Pivetta could be a match. However, I do not think that is the most-likely option given the quote. Martin has a 4.22 ERA with a 24-to-2 strikeout-to-walk ratio, .266 batting average against and a 1.08 WHIP in 21 1/3 innings. He was recently placed on the injured list for anxiety -- which he claims started to affect his physical abilities and mechanics.
