Craig Breslow, Boston's chief baseball officer, reinforced that notion when he acquired 6-foot-6 left-hander Jake Bennett from the Nationals in

Paul Toboni spoke of “creating a scouting and player development monster” when he was hired as the Nationals' president of baseball operations. Toboni addressed the Nats’ Minor League system on Monday by swapping pitching prospects with the Red Sox, the organization for which he previously worked.
