Red Sox add infield depth and serious speed with Adalberto Mondesí-Josh Taylor trade

Josh Taylor Red Sox Sox Christian Arroyo Royals Kansas City Royals MLB

The Red Sox and Kansas City Royals are exchanging promising players who missed most or all of the 2022 season.

First reported by MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, the Sox will receive infielder Adalberto Mondesí, who missed all but 15 games last year due to a torn ACL, and a player to be named later or cash considerations in exchange for left-handed reliever Josh Taylor, who hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2021 due to back issues. The Red Sox have confirmed the trade.

Ahead of Red Sox Winter Weekend last Friday, chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom made it clear that fortifying the middle infield was a top priority. Now, the Sox are giving up a solid bullpen piece for a more expensive player with fewer years of club control in order to do so. Taylor is set to earn $1.03M this year and won’t reach free agency until 2026, while the Royals avoided arbitration with Mondesí by agreeing to a $3.045M salary; he’s on track for free agency after the upcoming season.
