The Red Sox just pulled off a jaw-dropping trade, sending three of their top five prospects—including Anthony Ianson—to land Adley Rutschman, a catcher on the injured list whose recent performance has dipped despite past All-Star accolades. In return, Boston gets Rutschman, Jake Rogers, and cash—some evaluators are calling it one of the most shocking deals in 30 years. The timing? Right after a sweep of the Dodgers. They also acquired reliever Eric Miller and outfielder Eli White in separate moves, though some question whether those were worth the cost. With deadline moves now complete, the team’s strategy feels bold—if not a bit risky.
