The Red Sox have acquired right-hander Wyatt Mills<\/strong> from the Royals in exchange for minor league righty Jacob Wallace<\/strong> and opened a spot on the roster by designating first baseman Eric Hosmer<\/strong> for assignment, per a team announcement.<\/p>\n Hosmer came to the Sox in a deadline deal just a few months ago. The Padres signed him to an eight-year, $144MM contract going into 2018, a deal that most observers considered an overpay from the moment it was announced. Hosmer’s production dipped thereafter, which only added to the albatross nature of the deal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
