Summary
Baltimore’s return for trading three-time All-Star Adley Rutschman to Boston includes Anthony Eyanson, Kyson Witherspoon and Enddy Azocar, plus catcher Carlos Narváez and a player to be named later or cash.
MLB Pipeline now ranks Eyanson, Witherspoon and Azocar as Baltimore’s No. 1, No. 7 and No. 8 prospects, giving the Orioles an immediate farm-system boost despite the loss of their top big league catcher.
Eyanson, a 2025 third-round pick and top-50 overall prospect, has surged with a 95-96 mph fastball and dominant first pro season — 0.44 ERA in Single-A and 1.69 in 11 Double-A games.
Witherspoon, the 15th overall pick in 2025, brings frontline-starter upside despite uneven High-A results, while 19-year-old Azocar has hit 12 homers in 46 High-A games and flashed five-tool potential.
The deal fits Baltimore’s broader deadline pivot: sacrificing present roster strength after moving Rutschman, but deepening a resurgent system with multiple upper-level and high-upside pieces.
