Unbelivable: Red Sox Top Man That Play With Blue Jays Has Been Kidnapped….

Before MLB’s July 30 trade deadline, the Red Sox intend to acquire a right-handed hitter, Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow told reporters on Friday. That’s exactly what he did on Saturday before the Boston Red Sox took on the Yankees.

The Red Sox acquired catcher Danny Jansen from the Blue Jays in exchange for three minor leaguers in a trade. From Boston’s farm system, infielders Cutter Coffey and Eddinson Paulino, along with pitcher Gilberto Batista, are on their way to Toronto.

As of Saturday, SoxProspects.com had Coffey as the 28th-ranked prospect for the Red Sox. Batista was unranked, and Paulino was the organization’s fifteenth-ranked minor leaguer.

Regarding Jansen, he has shared playing time in goal with Alejandro Kirk for Toronto this year. As of Saturday, he will join Connor Wong and Reese McGuire as one of Boston’s three catchers. The team’s catching department may make a roster adjustment before Tuesday’s deadline thanks to Jansen’s arrival.

Breslow texted, “Danny gives us a right-handed bat that should play very well at Fenway.” “He smashes the ball extremely hard and high, which is quite helpful in our ballpark. As the deadline approached, we were happy with our catching position, but we also saw a chance to fortify that group.
