Red Sox Pursue Top Free Agent Pitchers

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox are actively pursuing top free-agent pitchers to strengthen their rotations, with both clubs reportedly interested in Corbin Burnes, Max Fried, and Blake Snell. The Dodgers are also gauging market interest for Roki Sasaki, while the Red Sox have met with former Cy Young winner Blake Snell, who is seeking a quicker resolution to his free agency compared to last year. Snell's status as the only one among the elite pitchers without a qualifying offer makes him an attractive option for teams. Additionally, the Red Sox have engaged in discussions with Shane Bieber, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery and may present a high-value signing opportunity. Despite finishing the 2024 season at .500, the Red Sox have the financial resources and a strong farm system to make significant moves this offseason. Both teams are positioned to make impactful signings as they aim for a return to the postseason.
