Adley Rutschman (C - BOS)
8/9/26 12:01 AM - Prospect News: Deadline Disclosure Day: American League Edition. Baltimore waved the white flag on the current generation of guys and traded C Adley Rutschman to their division rival in Boston. The Orioles got a package that looks good on paper but might wind up a little thin given the defensive value of Rutschman and the volatility of pitching prospects. I like RHP Anthony Eyanson as much as the next guy, but if I’m trading the best defensive catcher in baseball who can also hit, I want young hitters in return. More specifically, I want young hitters with speed who can play defense. OF Enndy Azocar fits that bill, and RHP Kyson Witherspoon was the 15th overall pick just last year, but I still think I’d have held Rutschman if I were the POBO. Or gotten two hitters and an arm. Or three hitters and a reliever.
