Summary
Boston acquired three-time All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman from Baltimore, adding a 28-year-old under team control through 2027 despite his current injured-list stint with wrist inflammation.
Philadelphia answered by landing Luis Arraez from San Francisco after he hit an NL-best .324, targeting a lineup that ranks second-worst in the majors with a .304 on-base percentage.
Monday’s final hours also brought San Diego starter Robbie Ray, Houston outfielder Daulton Varsho and Chicago additions for the Cubs, underscoring a deadline packed with dozens of swaps.
Los Angeles stayed the most aggressive buyer after Sunday’s Tarik Skubal deal, adding Kris Bubic and backup catcher Ben Rortvedt as it chases a third straight World Series title.
