The Boston Red Sox acquired Willson Contreras from the St. Louis Cardinals, giving up right-handers Hunter Dobbins, Yhoiker Fajardo, and Blake Aita. Prospect expert Ian Cundall deemed the trade a fair return, noting that the Red Sox retained their top prospects and addressed a critical need at first base. Dobbins, while showing promise, struggled with his fastball, which contributed to the team’s willingness to trade him. With Contreras onboard, the Red Sox will need to navigate the role of Triston Casas, who is recovering from injury.
