Reports: Red Sox acquire 3-time All-Star 1B Willson Contreras

The Boston Red Sox acquired first baseman Willson Contreras and cash considerations from the St. Louis Cardinals, multiple media outlets reported.

The Cardinals reportedly will receive right-hander Hunter Dobbins and pitching prospects Yhoiker Fajardo and Blake Aita to complete the deal.

The reported trade is the second in as many months between the teams. All-Star right-hander Sonny Gray waived his no-trade clause to leave the Cardinals and join the Red Sox on Nov. 25.

Boston will receive $8 million to cover the remaining $42.5 million on Contreras' contract, multiple media outlets reported. He is due to make $18 million in 2026 and $18.5 million in 2027.

Contreras, 33, batted .257 with 20 homers and 80 RBIs in 135 games last season.

A three-time All-Star, Contreras is a career .258 hitter with 172 homers and 548 RBIs in 1,078 games with the Chicago Cubs (2016-22) and Cardinals.

Dobbins, 26, posted a 4-1 record with a 4.13 ERA in 13 appearances (11 starts) last season before sustaining a torn ACL.

Fajardo, 19, went 1-4 with a 2.25 ERA in 72 innings between the Florida Complex League and Low-A Salem this past year.

Aita, 22, posted a 5-7 record with a 3.98 ERA in 23 games (19 starts) split between the Single-A and High-A levels.
