The Boston Red Sox made a splash before the trade deadline by snagging Adley Rutschman from the Orioles, a surprise move that bolsters their catching corps. But their eyes were on bigger targets—namely Bobby Witt Jr., the elite, Gold Glove-caliber shortstop from Kansas City, who’s locked into a long-term deal and isn’t going anywhere. While Witt Jr.’s combination of power, speed, and defense makes him a fantasy MVP, the Royals’ stance is clear: they’re holding onto their franchise cornerstone. It’s a reminder that in today’s MLB, even star players with big contracts are rarely traded—unless you’re willing to pay top dollar for a future-proof asset.
