The Boston Red Sox acquired 33-year-old first baseman Garrett Cooper from the Chicago Cubs to replace injured player Triston Casas and potentially replace struggling player Bobby Dalbec. Cooper brings an eight-year MLB career, a .268 career batting average, and a .772 on-base plus slugging (OPS) to the team, filling Casas' position at first base. The Red Sox traded for Cooper at a low-risk, high-reward cost, as they sent cash to Chicago in exchange.
