Red Sox Land Adley Rutschman in Blockbuster Deal with Orioles
Boston adds the switch-hitting All-Star catcher in a six-player trade, with Rutschman retaining one more year of arbitration eligibility.
The Red Sox acquired catcher Adley Rutschman from the Orioles in a six-player trade ahead of Monday's deadline. Rutschman is a switch-hitting All-Star who adds significant offensive upside to a Boston catching corps that had been a weak spot. He has one year of arbitration eligibility remaining, making him more than a rental. The deal also included backup catcher Jake Rogers moving from Baltimore to Boston.
