Red Sox swing deal with Cubs for 1B Cooper
Written by I Dig SportsThe Boston Red Sox acquired first baseman Garrett Cooper from the Chicago Cubs on Saturday for cash considerations.
Cooper, 33, was designated for assignment by the Cubs this week after hitting .270 with a home run and six RBIs in 12 games. His playing time was limited with the emergence of Michael Busch.
Boston has playing time available at first base after Triston Casas (ribs) went on the injured list.
In eight seasons with three different organizations, Cooper is a .268 hitter with 57 home runs and 228 RBIs in 493 games. He combined to hit 17 home runs with 61 RBIs in 123 games for the San Diego Padres and Miami Marlins last season.
