MLB Trade Rumors

The Red Sox placed Chris Martin on the 15-day injured list yesterday (retroactive to July 4) and called up left-hander Cam Booser from Triple-A to fill Martin’s spot in the bullpen.  Martin is suffering from right elbow inflammation, and manager Alex Cora told the Boston Globe’s Julian McWilliams and other reporters that there isn’t yet any plan for Martin to undergo any … [Read more...] about AL East Notes: Martin, Torres, Garcia

The Red Sox announced Friday that they’ve recalled left-hander Bailey Horn from Triple-A Worcester for his big league debut. They had an open spot on the active roster after optioning Isaiah Campbell yesterday, and Horn is already on the team’s 40-man roster. Andrew Parker of Beyond the Monster first reported yesterday that Horn would be called up for his MLB debut. Boston … [Read more...] about Red Sox Recall Bailey Horn For MLB Debut

The Red Sox have claimed right-hander Alex Speas off waivers from the Astros.  Speas was designated for assignment by Houston last week. A second-round pick for the Rangers in the 2016 draft, Speas didn’t really start to live up that prospect status until the 2023 season, when he had a 2.86 ERA over 56 2/3 combined innings (28 1/3 frames each) at the Double-A and Triple-A … [Read more...] about Red Sox Claim Alex Speas From Astros

In an odd moment of miscommunication earlier this month, Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas told reporters earlier this month that he had begun to take dry swings while rehabbing torn cartilage in his midsection. That was exciting news regarding the 24-year-old’s progress, but MassLive’s Sean McAdam noted earlier this week that Casas’s previous comments do not appear to have … [Read more...] about Red Sox Notes: Casas, Hendriks, Mata

The Red Sox have outperformed most expectations and carry a 43-37 record. They’re percentage points ahead of the Royals for the final Wild Card spot in the American League. Boston doesn’t look like a prototypical seller, yet that hasn’t completely silenced trade speculation regarding their closer. Kenley Jansen has found his name in trade rumors going back to the offseason. It … [Read more...] about Latest On Kenley Jansen

The Red Sox haven’t yet discussed a contract extension with Jarren Duran, the outfielder told MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo earlier this week, though Duran doesn’t seem bothered by the lack of talks.  “I’m just here to play baseball.  If they come talk to me, then they come talk to me, but I’m just enjoying playing baseball with this team,” Duran said.  The Sox aren’t exactly on … [Read more...] about AL East Notes: Duran, Romano, Orioles, Abreu

Red Sox right-hander Luis Perales will undergo Tommy John surgery next week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive reports on X. The young righty will therefore miss the remainder of this season and likely much of 2025 as well. It’s an unfortunate blow for Perales, who impressed the Red Sox enough to get a 40-man roster spot in November. Though he had not yet reached the Double-A level, … [Read more...] about Luis Perales To Undergo Tommy John Surgery
