Red Sox consider opportunity with former Dodgers prospect Diego Cartaya after designation for assignment

The Los Angeles Dodgers have designated former top prospect Diego Cartaya for assignment, creating a potential opportunity for the Boston Red Sox. Cartaya, once a highly regarded talent, struggled in recent seasons, leading to his removal from the Dodgers' roster. The Red Sox recently traded their No. 4 prospect, Kyle Teel, leaving them with a gap in their catching lineup. Current catcher Conor Wong has underperformed defensively, prompting speculation about the Red Sox's interest in Cartaya. The Dodgers now have five days to trade Cartaya or place him on waivers. The Red Sox could acquire him by trading a lower-level prospect, potentially addressing their catching needs for the future.
