The Sox sent righthanded relievers Heath Hembree and Brandon Workman to Philadelphia for Pivetta and righthander Connor Seabold. Pivetta is the only one of the group still in the majors and has been a reliable rotation piece for the Sox over the last four years.

Friday's start may have been Nick Pivetta's last in a Red Sox uniform. If this is it, the righty leaves a complicated legacy of durability and a feeling of "What could have been?'

Nick Pivetta will make his final start of the season for the Red Sox, and depending on how things play out this winter it could wind up being his final start in a Red Sox uniform full stop.
