Red Sox acquire catcher Adley Rutschman from Orioles in trade

The Boston Red Sox have acquired catcher Adley Rutschman from the Baltimore Orioles in a trade on August 3. Rutschman, the first overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft and a three-time All-Star, has been struggling with left wrist inflammation and is currently on the injured list. Boston is looking to improve its catching position after a strong run recently, winning 23 of their last 26 games. The Orioles, with a disappointing record of 54-58, appear to be moving towards rebuilding after a failed attempt to compete in the postseason over the last two years. The Red Sox will integrate Rutschman into their roster alongside catchers Connor Wong and Carlós Narvaez.
