Red Sox trade multiple top prospects for Adley Rutschman from Orioles

Summary

The Boston Red Sox acquired catcher Adley Rutschman from the Baltimore Orioles in a significant trade on August 3, 2026. The trade involved sending top prospects Anthony Eyanson, Kyson Witherspoon, and Enddy Azocar, along with a player to be named later, to Baltimore. Reactions from MLB evaluators have been largely critical, with some describing the trade as one of the most questionable in recent history due to the talent given up for an injured player.
