The Boston Red Sox acquire first baseman Willson Contreras from the St. Louis Cardinals.
Boston will be responsible for $33.5 million of the $41.5 million owed to Contreras, according to USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale.
The Cardinals will receive three players, including right-handed pitcher Hunter Dobbins, according to MLB.com.
As a result of the trade, the Red Sox are expected to end their trade talks with the Arizona Diamondbacks regarding Ketel Marte.
Either side has yet to announce the trade, which will have to meet the approval of Contreras, who has a no-trade clause in his contract.
Contreras signed with the Cardinals as a free agent in 2022.
