Eric Hosmer

HOUSTON -- Chaim Bloom's first deal of deadline day involves a big name. The Red Sox have agreed to acquire first baseman Eric Hosmer from the Padres, ...

Hosmer made headlines earlier in the day for refusing to waive his no-trade clause to go to the Nationals as part of the Juan Soto blockbuster. He can play first base, which has been an obvious area of need for the Red Sox this season due to the struggles of Bobby Dalbec and Franchy Cordero, or slot into designated hitter if the Sox trade J.D.

Boston is not expected to pay much in terms of prospect capital in what should be a creatively designed trade.

Eric Hosmer is refusing to waive his no-trade clause. No matter what he wants, his time with the San Diego Padres is coming to an end.

Eric Hosmer had been part of the return for the Nationals in theory.

SAN DIEGO -- First, Eric Hosmer was headed to Washington. Now, he's headed to Boston. In a wild Deadline day turn of events, Hosmer invoked his no-trade ...

Hosmer's no-trade protection stems from the eight-year, $144 million deal he signed with the Padres in February 2018, then the largest contract in franchise history. He owns a 4.46 ERA in five Minor League seasons. Hosmer is owed $39 million from 2023-25, and it's unclear how much of that salary the Padres will pay. Both Ferguson and Rosier are solid pieces. But both are 22 and their ceiling is somewhat limited. In a wild Deadline day turn of events, Hosmer invoked his no-trade clause to reject a potential deal from the Padres to the Nationals. Hosmer was originally part of the eight-player blockbuster that sent Juan Soto and Josh Bell to San Diego.
