Following the trade acquisition of Willson Contreras from the St. Louis Cardinals—in exchange for pitchers Hunter Dobbins, Yhoiker Fajardo, and Blake Aita plus $8 million—the Boston Red Sox gain a stabilizing force at first base and DH. Contreras' blend of offensive consistency, advanced contact quality, and defensive reliability addresses years of injuries and underperformance at the position.
