McAdam: Boston Red Sox Have Interest In Dalton Rushing

[Matthew Lenz]

As all signs point to the Boston Red Sox purchasing over the next week, it appears they are also interested in acquiring prospects.

Sean McAdam of MassLive is reporting that the Boston Red Sox have interest in Los Angeles Dodgers catching prospect Dalton Rushing. He goes on to report that the Dodgers are interested in Red Sox prospects Franklin Arias and Brandon Clarke.

Rushing, who debuted on May 15, has struggled with the Dodgers, posting a .577 OPS with just one home run. While a majority of his time has been spent behind the plate, he has also played at first base, which would provide the Red Sox with depth at multiple positions of need.

Clark and Arias, both at High-A Greenville, have had good seasons. Both are considered top 100 prospects by multiple sources.

Do you think the Red Sox should acquire Rushing or shoot for a larger fish? Join the conversation in the comments!
