Red Sox Offer Qualifying Deal to Pivetta

News summary

The Boston Red Sox have offered a one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer to pitcher Nick Pivetta but not to slugger Tyler O’Neill. Pivetta, known for his strong strikeout rate but vulnerability to home runs, has until November 19 to decide whether to accept or pursue a multi-year contract elsewhere, which could benefit the Red Sox with draft compensation if he departs. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Royals have re-signed pitcher Michael Wacha to a three-year, $51 million contract with a club option for a fourth year, securing a key player in their rotation after a promising 2024 season where Wacha delivered a 3.35 ERA. Wacha's deal includes performance bonuses that could raise his earnings to $72 million, emphasizing the Royals' commitment to improving their roster following an ALDS exit. The Royals' strategic move is part of their broader effort to strengthen their lineup, as they also face the free agency of versatile player Adam Frazier. Wacha's return marks continuity in a rotation that was crucial to Kansas City's improved performance in 2024.
