According to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic, the Red Sox are one of the teams "in on" Brewers ace Freddy Peralta, who could be available this offseason. "The Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants and Houston Astros are among the teams in on Peralta, according to people familiar with the Brewers' discussion," Rosenthal and Sammon wrote, later adding that "no deal appears close."

Carlos Narvaez had a solid rookie season and emerged as Boston's top option behind the plate in 2025. However, the Red Sox have been linked to J.T. Realmuto's market, so there is some indication that the Sox aren't entirely set at the catching position. Along those same lines, MassLive.com's Sean McAdam reports that the club shown some interest in reuniting with ex-Boston prospect , though "nothing is close now" between the Red Sox and White Sox.

Baseball's hot stove is officially cooking. The off-season has picked up steam with front-office executives from all 30 teams gathered at this year's winter meetings in Orlando, Fla., and the Toronto Blue Jays are among those creating the loudest buzz. Even after signing free agents Dylan Cease (who'll be officially introduced on Tuesday) and Cody Ponce, the franchise continues to search for impact additions, particularly on the position-player and reliever fronts.

As the Red Sox look to add power to their lineup, they've talked internally about the possibility of signing Eugenio Suárez and held some talks with his camp, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reports. The team's interest in Suárez is all the more notable with the market's top slugger, Kyle Schwarber, off the board on a five-year that'll keep in Philadelphia. The Red Sox were known to have interest in Schwarber.

Toronto claimed Lawrence off waivers from Seattle back in April, only to release him after making just one relief appearance - spanning 2.2 innings on Apr. 29 - with the club. Shortly afterwards, the veteran hurler was reacquired by the Mariners, who put him through a transaction spin cycle through the remainder of the season, granting his release and ultimately re-signing him multiple times.

For the Cardinals, meanwhile, trading Gray was to be expected after the 36-year-old hurler hinted that he'd be willing to waive his no-trade clause to help facilitate an off-season deal to a contender - which he ultimately did. Both sides mutually decided it was time to part ways, officially putting in motion the franchise's rebuild under newly-hired president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom.

The Red Sox have been linked to some of the top hitters in free agency this offseason, like Pete Alonso, Kyle Schwarber, and Munetaka Murakami. Of course, they're also strongly in the mix to re-sign Alex Bregman. But they could improve their lineup via trade, too. In fact, The Boston Globe's Alex Speier recently reported that he suspects the Red Sox won't sign two of "premium" bats in free agency this offseason, but could look to add a complementary bat

BOSTON (AP) - Catcher Connor Wong and the Boston Red Sox agreed Thursday to a one-year deal for $1,375,000, a day ahead of the deadline for teams to offer 2026 contracts to unsigned players on their 40-man rosters. Wong can earn an additional $75,000 in performance bonuses for plate appearances: $25,000 each for 250, 300 and 350.

The Red Sox announced that they have selected left-hander Shane Drohan as well right-handers David Sandlin and Tyler Uberstine to the roster.

That's right, on Monday night, the Watertown Wombats completed their undefeated rec league slow pitch softball season, winning the championship by a final score of 19-9. Congratulations to me and my teammates. In other news, it was roughly this time last year when the Red Sox made their first move of the offseason, signing Justin Wilson to a deal.

Back in the summer of 2020, I wrote about Jackie Bradley Jr. and the Red Sox's response to protests across sports in reaction to the BLM movement, spurred by multiple instances of police brutality against Black people across the country. I never ended up publishing this article, but I needed to put my thoughts on the situation into words somewhere, whether it be public or not.

We're definitely closer [to our goal] when you think about the season we just had. But we're also not where we want to go yet and adding the wins that take you from 89 to 90 to 91 to 92 are really hard. On the field, we saw some of our key players take a step forward in terms of development and performance.

2025 was a strange year for Nathaniel Lowe. He was coming off 4 straight years averaging 2.8 bWAR per season with a .274/.359./.432 batting line. He was joining a new team - the Washington Nationals - who many believed to be something of a sleeper in the National League with young stars James Wood and CJ Abrams. Lowe was positioned to be a key veteran presence with playoff and World Series experience.
