The Boston Red Sox have acquired first baseman Willson Contreras from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for pitchers Hunter Dobbins, Yhoiker Fajardo, and Blake Aita, with the Cardinals contributing $8 million towards Contreras’s contract. This trade addresses the Red Sox’s need for a stronger first base presence after a lackluster performance last season. Contreras, who hit 20 homers in 2025, is expected to bolster the lineup significantly. The Cardinals gain promising pitchers, including Fajardo, who has shown potential as a middle-of-the-rotation starter.
