O’s get Anthony Eyanson from Red Sox in trade

NCAA Baseball: College World Series-Coastal Carolina v LSU

Anthony Eyanson

BAL Starting Pitcher

Player Stats

Orioles acquired RHP Anthony Eyanson, RHP Kyson Witherspoon, OF Enddy Azocar and C Carlos Narvaez from the Red Sox for C Adley Rutschman and C Jake Rogers.

The crown jewel of Baltimore’s gigantic prospect haul, Eyanson was universally regarded as Boston’s top minor-league arm and second-ranked prospect behind shortstop Franklin Arias. The 21-year-old has compiled a microscopic 1.32 ERA and 94/26 K/BB ratio across 68 1/3 innings during his professional debut after being selected in the third round of last year’s draft following a standout collegiate career for LSU’s powerhouse program. It’s not hyperbolic to project Eyanson, who attacks hitters with a mid-90’s fastball in addition to a nasty slider and developing curveball, as a realistic mid-rotation arm and a highly impactful fantasy contributor in the not-so-distant future.

Adley Rutschman

BAL Catcher #35

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

The Red Sox are acquiring Adley Rutschman from the Orioles, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Apparently, the medicals were approved. The Orioles will get Anthony Eyanson (Boston’s No. 1 pitching prospect), 2025 first-rounder Kyson Witherspoon, Carlos Narváez and more, according to the Baltimore Sun’s Jacob Calvin Meyer. The Red Sox will have Rutschman under control through 2027. He’s still on the IL for now, but he’ll take over from Connor Wong as the starter when healthy. Jake Rogers is also in the deal going to Boston, so he’ll back up Wong for now. For Baltimore, the move clears the way for Samuel Basallo to spend the next several years as a starting catcher.
Otto Lopez

MIA Shortstop #6

MassLive.com’s Sean McAdam reports talks are “dead” between the Red Sox and Marlins for shortstop Otto Lopez.

McAdam spoke with a league source that indicated the chances of a deal to send Lopez to Boston are “dead” and it appears highly unlikely the Marlins will trade him. It’s purely speculation, but the Red Sox figure to be extremely reluctant to move either of their top prospects in shortstop Franklin Arias, who is tearing the cover off the ball since being promoted to Triple-A Worcester recently, and righty Anthony Eyanson, who struck out a season-high 10 batters at Double-A Portland on Friday night. The Red Sox have been linked to multiple shortstops ahead of next week’s trade deadline, but it seems highly unlikely that Lopez is going to Boston, or anywhere else at the moment.
Anthony Eyanson

BOS Starting Pitcher

Red Sox RHP prospect Anthony Eyanson recorded a season-high 10 strikeouts and allowed two runs over 4 2/3 innings on Friday for Double-A Portland.

Boston’s top pitching prospect by a country mile, Eyanson has compiled a microscopic 1.32 ERA and 94/26 K/BB ratio across 68 1/3 innings during his professional debut after being selected in the third round of last year’s draft. The 21-year-old is unlikely to reach the big leagues this season given the organization’s pitching depth at the highest level, but he could factor into their rotation plans at some point early next year.
Anthony Eyanson

BOS Starting Pitcher

Red Sox RHP prospect Anthony Eyanson recorded one out in relief on Sunday in the All-Star Futures Game at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

Eyanson was summoned to record the final out of the fourth inning with the potential go-ahead run in scoring position. He walked Ethan Salas before generating an inning-ending fly ball to center field from Luis Peña. The 21-year-old righty has been one of this season’s biggest pitching breakout prospects, posting a pristine 1.29 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 71/20 K/BB ratio across 55 2/3 innings between Double-A Portland and High-A Greenville. He’s routinely sitting in the mid-90s with his fastball, averaging 93.6 mph in this showcase, and should continue to move quickly through Boston’s system after being selected in the third round of last year’s MLB Draft.
Anthony Eyanson

BOS Starting Pitcher

Red Sox promoted RHP prospect Anthony Eyanson to Double-A Portland.

Eyanson is fast becoming one of the top pitching prospects in Boston’s loaded prospect class. A third-round pick in 2025, Eyanson allowed one run on seven hits in 20 1/3 High-A innings this season with a 34/3 K/BB ratio. He certainly needs to face a higher level of competition.

Richie Palacios is back at second base over Ben Williamson in Game 2 against the Brewers.

Palacios almost always plays against righties, but the Rays went for defense in using Williamson over him last night. That’s the only personnel change from last night. The lineup: DH Yandy Díaz, 1B Jonathan Aranda, LF Chandler Simpson, 3B Junior Caminero, C Liam Hicks, 2B Palacios, CF Jonny DeLuca, RF Victor Mesa Jr. and SS Taylor Walls.

Keyber Rodriguez homered twice and walked Friday for Aragua of the Venezuelan Winter League.

The 25-year-old Rodriguez is just 6-for-30 so far, but he’s tied for the league lead with four homers. Rodriguez has been in the Rangers system since 2018, and he hit .268/.325/.459 with 19 homers between Double- and Triple-A this season. Barring a surprising decision to add him to the 40-man, he’ll be eligible for minor league free agency after the World Series.

Hancel Rincón picked up a win after pitching a hitless inning in relief for Estrellas of the Dominican Winter League on Friday.

Estrellas is well stocked with Cardinals this winter; Rincón got to throw to Leo Bernal in his appearance last night, the lead he was handed was in part supplied by a two-run triple from Cesar Prieto. Rincón has allowed two runs in 4 2/3 innings to date.

Aron Estrada went 5-for-5 with two doubles and a steal for Zulia of the Venezuelan Winter League on Friday.

The 21-year-old Estrada slugged 25 homers while amassing a .281/.325/.482 in a 2026 season spent mostly in Double-A. His defense at second base still needs some work, and he’d be a less interesting prospect if he’s forced to an outfield corner, but as a switch-hitter with impressive pop, he’s a threat to see some major league time next year.

Carlos Colmenarez had a grand slam and walked twice for Lara of the Venezuelan Winter League on Friday.

Colmenarez, 22, had a rather odd season that saw him open up in Triple-A because of some injuries in the Rays system and finish it in High-A. He also missed time in May and August, so he was limited to 66 games in which he hit .249/.359/.442. That he’s a left-handed hitter helps his cause, but he has quite a bit of work to do if he’s going to land a utility gig someday.

The Yankees and pitching coach Matt Blake are in agreement on a three-year deal through 2029.

Blake’s contract was expiring, and he would have been in considerable demand around the league had he opted to look around. Instead, he’ll remain the Yankees’ pitching coach, a role he’s held since the 2020 season.

Christian Yelich went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple and a run scored on Friday night, leading the Brewers to a 3-2 victory over the Rays in Game 1 of the World Series.

Yelich got the Brewers on the board first with a run-scoring triple off of Nick Martinez in the home half of the first inning. He then scored on an RBI single by William Contreras. That was his lone hit in the ballgame but played a major role in the Brewers’ taking a 1-0 lead in the Series. Expect the 34-year-old slugger to be back near the top of the lineup for Saturday night’s showdown against Rays’ right-hander Drew Rasmussen.

Jackson Chourio went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored as the Brewers triumphed over the Rays in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday evening.

Chourio led off the home half of the first inning with a single off of Nick Martinez, then raced around to score the game’s first run on an RBI triple by Christian Yelich. The 22-year-old superstar also plated a run of his own with a two-out RBI single in the seventh inning that increased the Brewers’ advantage to 3-1 and proved to be the difference in the ballgame. The Brewers will look to take a commanding 2-0 series lead when they take on Rays’ right-hander Drew Rasmussen on Saturday evening in Milwaukee.

Trevor Megill walked the tightrope against the Rays in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night, escaping with a one-run advantage as the Brewers took a 1-0 Series lead.

It wasn’t the smoothest of innings for Megill by any means, as he allowed one-out singles to Jonathan Aranda and Chandler Simpson and walked Junior Caminero to load the bases. He then got Liam Hicks to ground into what looked to be a game-ending double play, but Caminero was ruled safe at second base upon umpire review. Not to fear though, as he battled back to retire Jonny DeLuca on strikes to end the ballgame. Megill needed 20 pitches to get the job done though, which could impact his availability in Game 2 on Saturday.
