The Boston Red Sox have traded outfielder Nate Eaton to the Athletics in exchange for 18-year-old right-handed pitcher Jareth Rayo. Eaton, who was 30 years old, appeared in 65 games for Boston, recording a .244 batting average, two home runs, 10 RBIs, and 25 stolen bases in 28 attempts, with an 88 OPS+. Rayo, signed by the A's as an international free agent from Nicaragua, posted a 5.50 ERA in 36 innings during the Dominican Summer League season.
The trade occurred as the MLB offseason began, one day after the Milwaukee Brewers won their first World Series title. The Red Sox also have Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Patrick Sandoval set to become free agents after the 2026 season. Kiner-Falefa, 31, played 66 games for Boston in 2026, finishing with a .242 batting average, two home runs, 16 RBIs, and eight stolen bases, along with a .322 on-base percentage and .633 OPS.
