Following the MLB trade deadline, the Boston Red Sox acquired catcher Adley Rutschman from the Baltimore Orioles in a deal that sent prospects Anthony Eyanson, Kyson Witherspoon, Enddy Azocar, and Harold Rivas to Baltimore. Rutschman, a three-time All-Star sidelined since July 18 due to left wrist inflammation, is nearing his debut for Boston. After completing a rehab assignment with the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox, he has traveled with the team to Toronto. Interim manager Chad Tracy indicated that while an activation for Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays is expected, the team intends to manage Rutschman’s workload carefully to avoid strain on his wrist and legs. He is expected to undergo workouts at Rogers Centre prior to potential action. His return creates roster management decisions regarding catching depth, specifically involving Connor Wong and recent acquisition Jake Rogers. Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow defended the aggressive trade, stating the move was intended to position the team to compete for a World Series.
