The Boston Red Sox complete their trade for Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman by sending outfielder Harold Rivas to the Orioles. The move finalizes the remaining portion of the deal, which includes a player-to-be-named-later component.
Multiple reports indicate Rivas was initially believed to be part of the transaction when the trade was first announced, but that early reporting was later retracted or revised. Yahoo Sports and its MLB-focused update describe Rivas as the final player officially added to the agreement, making the trade complete after a period in which the specific roster detail was still unsettled.
The outlets frame the update primarily as administrative completion of the previously agreed trade terms rather than as a new baseball decision. Overall, the reporting aligns on the same conclusion: Rivas moves from Boston to Baltimore specifically to fulfill the final piece of the Rutschman trade, with the earlier uncertainty resolved by the formal announcement.
