O'S LAND 18-YEAR-OLD OF HAROLD RIVAS FROM SOX TO COMPLETE RUTSCHMAN DEAL

The Baltimore Orioles have acquired 18-year-old Venezuelan outfielder Harold Rivas from the Boston Red Sox. This transaction completes the seven-player blockbuster trade from last week that sent star catcher Adley Rutschman to Boston.

Key Details of the Trade Completion
The Final Piece: Harold Rivas was a top 2025 international prospect. He immediately enters the Orioles' system as their No. 26 ranked prospect. He has drawn talent comparisons to George Springer.
Orioles' Full Return: Baltimore received four prospects in total for Rutschman. This includes right-handed pitchers Anthony Eyanson (Orioles' No. 1 prospect) and Kyson Witherspoon (No. 7), outfielder Enddy Azocar (No. 8), and catcher Carlos Narváez.

Red Sox Side: Boston received Adley Rutschman and catcher Jake Rogers. Rogers was recently designated for assignment to clear room.

Rutschman's Boston Debut
Rutschman was activated from the injured list following a bout of left wrist inflammation. He made his official Red Sox debut on Tuesday. He batted third and went 1-for-3 with two walks during a 5-3 loss against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Current Standings Impact
Boston Red Sox: Hold a 64-55 record. They currently occupy the second American League Wild Card spot.
Baltimore Orioles: Hold a 58-62 record. They sit just two games out of a Wild Card berth.
