The Boston Red Sox have made a trade for Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer according to Jon Heyman.
Hosmer, 32, is batting .272 with eight home runs and 40 RBIs for the Padres this season. He has played 12 MLB seasons with the Royals and Padres with a .277 career batting average.
The Padres completed a trade to bring Juan Soto and first baseman Josh Bell to San Diego. Hosmer was originally part of the deal, but rejected the trade, as Washington was one of 10 teams on his no-trade list in his contract. With Bell on the roster, San Diego decided to make a trade with one of the teams omitted from the no-trade list.
There is no report on the return San Diego is receiving, but they are expected to pay some of Hosmer’s remaining salary.
