Red Sox nearing trade for Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman

The Boston Red Sox are reportedly close to acquiring catcher Adley Rutschman from the Orioles. The trade is currently awaiting medical reviews due to Rutschman's recent injury; he was placed on the 10-day injured list on July 20 with left wrist inflammation. Rutschman has a season batting average of.251 with eight home runs and 47 runs batted in. This acquisition would potentially bolster the Red Sox's roster as the trade deadline approaches at 6 p.m. ET today. Rutschman's availability has also generated interest from the New York Yankees, who are looking for a right-handed catcher to enhance their offense.
