Red Sox acquiring three-time All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman

With just over three hours left before the Monday 6 p.m. ET MLB trade deadline, the Boston Red Sox acquired three-time All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman from the Baltimore Orioles. Rutschman, 28, is a switch-hitter and Baltimore’s first overall pick in the 2019 draft. He was second in American League Rookie of the Year voting in 2022 and won a Silver Slugger while finishing ninth in AL MVP voting in 2023. The Red Sox had been linked to him for hours, according to the report, and a source said the delay involved an extensive review of his medicals due to left wrist inflammation; he is on the 10-day injured list. Over 67 games, he is hitting .251 with a .764 OPS. Behind the plate, he ranks highly in defensive metrics.
