The Boston Red Sox have completed a trade with the Baltimore Orioles for catcher Adley Rutschman, according to Jeff Passan. Baltimore’s return in the trade has not yet been reported.
Rutschman, 28, has played all five of his MLB seasons with the Baltimore Orioles. In his career, he has batted .254 with 69 home runs and 277 RBIs. This season, he has batted .251 with eight home runs and 47 RBIs. He is currently on the 10-day IL with left wrist inflammation.
The Red Sox went on a tear in July and now have a record of 60-51. They are in the second Wild Card spot and adding Rutschman can help as they haven’t had a lot of production from their catchers this season.
Baltimore is four games under .500 and now trades a franchise player in the division as they look to go in a new direction. In return, they are getting Anthony Eyanson, Enddy Azocar, Kyson Witherspoon, Harold Rivas and catcher Carlos Narvaez. Eyanson is Boston’s No. 2 prospect, while Witherspoon was No. 4 and Azocar is No. 5.
