Red Sox Trade Marcelo Mayer to Giants for Pitcher Erik Miller
Boston adds a hard-throwing lefty with a 2.76 ERA as Marcelo Mayer heads to San Francisco after injuries slowed his rise.
- On Monday, the Boston Red Sox acquired catcher Adley Rutschman from the Baltimore Orioles, sending catcher Carlos Narvaez and top prospects to Baltimore. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow orchestrated the blockbuster deal to bolster the roster.
- Boston finished July with a dominant 21-4 record, securing a wild card spot and positioning itself for a postseason run. Breslow emphasized the need to meaningfully improve the team's outlook without disrupting the clubhouse culture during the stretch.
- In a separate transaction, the Red Sox traded infielder Marcelo Mayer to the San Francisco Giants for left-handed reliever Erik Miller. Breslow said the move "made sense" for both organizations, despite Mayer's injury struggles.
- Rutschman, sidelined with left wrist inflammation, will not appear in Boston's lineup immediately as the team manages his recovery. Connor Wong is expected to handle catching duties until the 28-year-old regains full strength.
- Boston also acquired outfielder Eli White from the Atlanta Braves to deepen the roster. With 20-year-old shortstop Franklin Arias rising through Triple-A, the front office is balancing immediate championship goals with long-term prospect development.
