With the Red Sox somewhat unexpectedly back in contention, it is difficult to overstate how big an upgrade Rutschman is at catcher. As you’d expect, it took a massive haul for the Red Sox to shake Rutschman loose from a division rival. The Red Sox went big on college arms in last year’s draft, popping Eyanson in the third round, no. (Lucky for him, since Mead got hurt in his first game for the Red Sox.) The Red Sox have a new lease on life after their 15-game winning streak, and Breslow seems dead-set on getting his money’s worth.
