The MLB Immaculate Grid puzzle, released on July 10, features players who have played for the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs.
Many players have played for both of these teams over the years, one of them being Eric Hosmer.
Hosmer, a first baseman and free agent, has played for multiple teams in Major League Baseball, including the Kansas City Royals, San Diego Padres, Boston Red Sox, and Chicago Cubs.
Hosmer was selected by the Royals as the third overall pick in the 2008 MLB draft and received a $6 million signing bonus. He made his Major League debut in the 2011 season.

He had an impressive rookie year, finishing third in the Rookie of the Year voting with a .293 batting average and 19 home runs in 128 games. Hosmer went on to win Gold Glove Awards consecutively from 2013 to 2015, as well as in 2017, when he also received the Silver Slugger Award.
He was named the MVP of the 2016 MLB All-Star Game and was a member of the 2015 World Series-winning team.
Following the 2017 season, Hosmer became a free agent and signed an eight-year contract with the Padres. However, during the 2022 season, he was traded by the Padres to the Red Sox. After the season, the Red Sox released him, and he subsequently signed with the Cubs.
