Red Sox Land Rutschman in Big Trade | Boston News

The Boston Red Sox just pulled off a blockbuster deal, acquiring three-time All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman — who’s already swinging a bat despite being on the injured list. Before his injury, he was crushing it with 8 homers and 47 RBIs in 67 games, plus he’s a switch-hitter and one of the best catchers in the league when healthy. At just 28, he’s a perfect fit for Boston’s lineup and has another year of team control, giving the Sox time to lock him up long-term. Rutschman’s already sounding the right notes — thrilled to be in Boston and eager to contribute. The price? Five players including top prospects, but the Sox are willing to pay big for a player they believe can transform their offense. Now, the real test: getting him signed to a long-term extension before he hits the field. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
