GARRETT COOPER GOES TO BOSTON

The Boston Red Sox acquired first baseman Garrett Cooper from the Chicago Cubs for cash.

What does it give the Boston Red Sox
Cooper will provide some depth at first base and at designated hitter for a Boston team that lost starting first baseman Triston Casas to a long-term injury.

What does it give the Chicago Cubs
The Cubs have several younger options at multiple positions, so Cooper was deemed expendable. They were able to get back some cash in this transaction.

Fantasy impact
Pass on picking Cooper up at this time. He is unlikely to become a full-time player for the Red Sox.
