The Red Sox have had multiple conversations with free agent reliever this offseason, . Cotillo lists a few other relievers with whom the Sox have had discu sions: , and . However, he suggests that Boston could be on the periphery of the Estvez market and that nothing has heated up in their conversations with Kahnle. Minter has been linked to the Blue Jays, Rangers and Cubs in recent weeks. Texas has already made a handful of bullpen signings, including last nights one-year deal with former Boston righty . The Jays and Cubs should still be involved in the relief market. During the season, Minter had expre sed some interest in returning to the Braves, though its not clear how seriously Atlanta has pushed for a reunion. The 31-year-old has been one of the games more reliable lefty setup arms during his career. Between Larry Nance Jersey 2020-23, he combined for a 2.89 earned run average while striking out more than 30% of opposing hitters in more than 200 innings. Minters platform year was a little more questionable. He still managed good numbers, turning in a 2.62 ERA with a solid 26.1% strikeout rate. Left hip i sues limited him to 39 appearances, though. He underwent surgery that ended his seasonin the middle of August. Minter could be ready early in the year, so the injury should not be too detrimental to his market. That said, it may limit him to two years when he seemed on track for a three-year pact earlier in 2024. At the beginning of the offseason, MLBTR predicted a two-year, $16MM deal. The relief market has moved slowly. Bostons $10.75MM deal with is one of four eight-figure reliever contracts thus far. The Sox also brought in on a one-year deal at a low cost ($2.25MM). Minter would complete a trifecta of new southpaws in Alex Coras late-inning mix. Kahnle is a righty who generally fares better against left-handed hitters. Thats a reflection of how often he uses his changeup. Kahnle turned to the offspeed pitch more than 70% of the time last season. Its tough to argue with the results, as he turned in a 2.11 ERA while striking out more than a quarter of opponents acro s 42 2/3 innings for the Yankees. Kittredge, a righty who leans on his slider roughly half the time, is coming off a strong season for the Cardinals. The 34-year-old worked 70 2/3 innings of 2.80 ERA ball with a league average 23.3% strikeout rate. Dylan Windler Jersey |
