And so, the rush of moves that occurred just before midnight on Dec. 1, which included the signings by the Red Sox of free agent lefties Rich Hill and James Paxton as well as the trade of Hunter Renfroe to Milwaukee for Jackie Bradley Jr. and prospects Alex Binelas and David Hamilton, will yield to silence. Yet that certainly doesn’t mean that the Red Sox are done with their work in advance of the 2022 season.
While it’s unclear how long the lockout will last – the previous work stoppage, a strike in August 1994, wiped out the final seven weeks of the regular season and playoffs – what can we expect Philadelphia president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski to do once player movement is permitted again?
A Red Sox fan looks back at Minnie Minoso and Tony Oliva Two great former players have gained entry into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Both had remarkable careers and fantastic talent. Minnie Minoso and Tony Oliva were pleasant and often painful to watch when they played against the Boston Red Sox.
So while we wait, there’s nothing but time to think about some possible signings and for the Red Sox, I think Clayton Kershaw could be a sleeper. Let me begin by making it clear that there haven’t been any rumors or whispers linking the Red Sox to Kershaw, but that sure doesn’t mean we can’t daydream a little bit. Los Angeles decided not to offer the longtime Dodger a Qualifying Offer so the big Texan is a free agent.
Here’s what the Red Sox would need to pay for Kyle Schwarber The Boston Red Sox remain in the mix for Kyle Schwarber but it’s going to cost them if they intend to re-sign the free-agent slugger. According to the Miami Herald, the Marlins reached out to Schwarber and found his asking price is a three-year deal in the $60 million range. Miami appears hesitant to pay that much but they remain in contention.
Basically, Red Sox manager Alex Cora has options. And so, too, does Bloom in rounding out Boston’s 26-man active squad before Opening Day. How it all shakes out, we’re gonna see.
Here's what the Boston Red Sox may have to pay Kyle Schwarber in order to re-sign the free-agent slugger this offseason.
The Red Sox apparently were close to landing catcher Jacob Stallings from the Pirates. Here's why he went to the Marlins instead, per a report.
The Boston Red Sox signed free agent left-handers Rich Hill and James Paxton on Wednesday night and reacquired outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. from Milwaukee in a trade that sent outfielder Hunter Renfroe to the Brewers. The flurry of moves came just a few hours before the 11:59 p.m. expiration of baseball’s collective bargaining agreement, which ushered in a lockout and halted all transactions.
The Boston Red Sox avoided arbitration with catcher Kevin Plawecki by signing him to a new contract, and outfielder Kik Hernandez took to Twitter with a fitting reaction.
Imagine our (complete and utter lack of) surprise, then, to awaken on Wednesday morning to the news that the Red Sox have agreed to a one-year, $10 million contract with left-hander James Paxton that includes a pair of team options totaling $25 million. If you're wondering why you haven't heard Paxton's name in a while, it's because he's broken.
Freeman reportedly is looking for a contract in the neighborhood of six-years and $180 million, which obviously is expensive but should the Boston Red Sox join in the sweepstakes? Boston currently has Bobby Dalbec on the roster who after a tough start to his rookie campaign, finished the 2021 season on a tear and ended up hitting . to go along with 25 home runs and 78 RBIs.
That would be Rob Refsnyder, who played in 51 games this past season for the Minnesota Twins. A former fifth round pick by the New York Yankees, the now-30-year-old (he turns 31 in late-March, and in fact on the same day yours truly turns 31) has bounced around the league after making his debut with New York back in 2015. Over his entire career, he has accrued 614 plate appearances across six seasons, hitting .
Reanna was the inspiration behind all of my fundraising efforts,” Houck said. It has been so amazing to work on this as a family and to see her efforts go to helping children in need of a family. It was the easiest decision.
Deals are happening throughout baseball with the collective bargaining agreement set to expire late Wednesday. The Chicago White Sox were in the mix Tuesday, officially announcing a three-year, $24 million contract with reliever Kendall Graveman and also reportedly bringing back infielder/outfielder Leury García on a three-year deal. The financial terms of García’s contract, first reported by ...
One of the top free-agent infielders is off the market as Marcus Semien reportedly has signed a long-term deal with the Texas Rangers.
Michael Wacha seems excited for a fresh start with the Red Sox. So, can the veteran pitcher make an impact in the rotation? John Tomase breaks down what Wacha brings to the table.
It apparently didn’t take the Boston Red Sox too long to address one of the elephants in the room. Boston reportedly is in agreement with veteran right-hander Michael Wacha, according to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported the deal is for one year, and the 30-year-old is “expected to bring depth to the Red Sox’s rotation” in 2022.
And speculation only intensified this week when the 41-year-old told The Boston Globe’s Alex Speier he “100 percent” intends to pitch in 2022 and that a reunion with the Red Sox isn’t off the table. There is an interest, without a doubt,” Hill said, per Speier. There’s a need on the other end.
The Red Sox and right-handed pitcher Michael Wacha are reportedly finalizing a one-year deal, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Passan said Wacha is expected to bring depth to the Red Sox starting rotation and noted that the deal is pending a physical. Wacha, 30, has a 63-48 record and 4.14 ERA throughout his nine-year Major League career with the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Mets, and Tampa Bay Rays.
Buxton earned a Gold Glove in 2017 after playing in a career-high 140 games. He’s never played in more than 92 games in any other season, including 2021, when he posted monster production before once again dealing with injuries that limited him to 61 contests. Here’s more from Doolittle: For Boston, it’s a gamble on immediate upside.
Red Sox starting pitching target Alex Cobb A star-studded pitching market headlined by Max Scherzer and Robbie Ray will grab most of the attention but the Red Sox don’t necessarily need to pay for an ace. They have their own Cy Young candidate in Nathan Eovaldi plus Chris Sale should return to form in his first full season following surgery. What they need is depth and an inexpensive back of the rotation arm is a sufficient way to bolster their stable of starters.
Slowly but surely, I’m getting there, to the point I want to get to, to feel like I’m ready to be a major league contributing baseball player,” said Casas. I personally didn’t feel like I was ready to play at that level. I know one day I will be.

Marcus Semien, one of the top infielders on the 2022 MLB free-agent market, might be out of the Red Sox' price range.
The Red Sox reportedly are one of several teams that have made an offer to free-agent pitcher Steven Matz, who reportedly could pick his new team soon.
We have a lot to be proud of for 2021 and a lot of unfinished business,” Bloom said. He’s a tremendous leader, and a wonderful partner for what we’re trying to do as an organization. A former infielder who was a member of Boston's 2007 World Series championship team, Cora is 284-202 in three seasons as manager.
Eduardo Rodríguez officially is a Detroit Tiger and apparently a return to the Boston Red Sox never got close. Rodríguez entered unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career and garnered plenty of interest — including from Boston — but after the Tigers offered the lefty a five-year, $77 million contract that pretty much made up his mind.
The Boston Red Sox exercised the club options in manager Alex Cora's contract, keeping him with the team through 2024. The club didn't announce financial terms. Cora is entering his fourth season as Red Sox manager in 2022.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora took to Instagram with a thankful message after the club extended his contract through 2024.
