The Red Sox acquired catcher Carlos Narváez from the Yankees for minor league pitcher Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz, enhancing their catching depth and pushing toward a more robust roster.
Narváez, with a solid on-base average due to a 13.9% walk rate, is now the primary candidate for the backup catcher role, highlighting Boston's need for depth.
New York, having five catchers on their roster including MLB regulars, deemed Narváez redundant and opted to trade him for a young arm, reflecting their strategic depth management.
Boston plans to explore further catcher options, indicating a short-term commitment to Narváez, who may start next season in Triple-A after showcasing potential in Triple-A.
