MLB Rumors: Red Sox Acquire Veteran First Baseman From Cubs

The Boston Red Sox addressed the recent injury of starting first baseman Triston Casas, pulling off a trade with the Chicago Cubs before Saturday evening's interleague clash at Fenway Park. Boston reportedly acquired eight-year veteran Garrett Cooper from Chicago, per MassLive's Chris Cotillo, in exchange for cash considerations. As Casas remains sidelined with a rib injury, Cooper slides in as Boston's premier candidate to fill the team's first-base vacancy in the meantime.
