Padres sending Eric Hosmer to Red Sox following National's Juan Soto trade mess San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer was originally supposed to be part of a deal for Washington Nationals' Juan Soto.

AUGUST 2, 2022 • NJ.COM

Packaged to Boston The Red Sox acquired Hosmer (neck) from the Padres on Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hosmer was initially included in the agreed-upon deal earlier Tuesday that sent Juan Soto and Josh Bell from the Nationals to the Padres, but Hosmer exercised his no-trade clause to block a move to Washington. San Diego opted to explore alternative trade options for Hosmer and found a willing partner in Boston. According to Jeff Passan of ESPN.com, the Padres will cover most of the $44 million remaining on the final three-plus seasons on Hosmer's contract, so Boston won't be receiving any significant prospect capital as a sweetener in the deal. Though Hosmer's .727 OPS over 369 plate appearances this season has rendered him a low-end starting first baseman from a production standpoint, he brings quality defense to the position and should be at least a slight offensive upgrade for the Red Sox over the platoon of Franchy Cordero and Bobby Dalbec. Hosmer is currently tending to a strained neck, but the injury isn't believed to be a major concern.

Out of lineup, status in limbo Hosmer (neck) will remain out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Hosmer's strained neck will keep him on the bench for the second game in a row and most likely the second half of Tuesday's doubleheader as well, but his health is of less intrigue at the moment than his status on the Padres' roster. According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, Hosmer was supposed to be included in the blockbuster deal the Padres made earlier Tuesday to acquire Juan Soto and Josh Bell from the Nationals, but Hosmer didn't waive his no-trade clause. Feinsand relays that Hosmer's decision won't derail the trade, and the Padres will presumably look to find a different home for the 32-year-old first baseman in advance of Tuesday's 6 p.m. ET deadline. Hosmer is on the books through 2025 and is owed $39 million over the next three seasons.

Not starting Monday Hosmer (neck) isn't in the lineup Monday against the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Hosmer was removed from Sunday's game against the Twins due to a neck strain and will be out of the lineup for at least one matchup. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but Wil Myers will start at first base while Nomar Mazara starts in right field.

Exits with neck strain Hosmer exited Sunday's game against the Twins due to a neck strain, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Hosmer went 0-for-3 with a strikeout to begin Sunday's matchup, but he was replaced defensively ahead of the seventh inning. It's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time, but Luke Voit and Jurickson Profar will likely see increased looks at first base if Hosmer is sidelined.
