| 6/15/25 | Garrett Whitlock Issues Aaron Judge Message After Red Sox Sweep Yankees. The Boston Red Sox are rolling, as they completed a sweep of their longtime nemesis, the New York Yankees, on Sunday afternoon. In perhaps the biggest play of their 2-0 win to close out the series, Garrett Whitlock got the better of Aaron Judge. Stepping up to the plate in the eighth inning, Judge had a chance to wipe the slate clean, as there were two runners on base with only one out in the inning. With the game in the balance, manager Alex Cora made a call to the bullpen and summoned Whitlock to face Judge. Source: https://nesn.com/2025/06/garrett-whitlock-aaron-ju... |
| 5/18/25 | Red Sox could sign this veteran free agent to reinforce struggling bullpen. Despite all their preseason expectations, the 2025 season has not gone to plan for the Boston Red Sox. The club can't break free of its .500 pattern, and is coming off a painful sweep against the Detroit Tigers, both indicative of Boston's inconsistent bullpen. While this has been a painful revelation for the Red Sox, it is made worse by Garrett Whitlock's sudden decline as a high-leverage reliever, a role in short supply for Boston.

| 4/24/25 | How Garrett Whitlock Embraced Return To Red Sox Role. The Boston Red Sox saw the best version of Garrett Whitlock in 2021 as a multi-inning reliever who changed the complexion of the bullpen. Whitlock posted a sub-2.00 ERA and he closed out the American League Wild Card Game against the New York Yankees. Boston then tried him as a starter for parts of three seasons that led to injuries and general regression. The Red Sox made the decision entering 2025 to push Whitlock back to the bullpen where he's started to find his way back to form. Source: https://nesn.com/2025/04/how-garrett-whitlock-embr... |

It's a great feeling for supporters of the Boston Red Sox to know their team will almost certainly be buyers at this year's trade deadline.

| 4/17/25 | No matter the situation, Garrett Whitlock relishes role as 'Swiss Army Knife' of Red Sox bullpen. Whitlock faced seven batters in Wednesday's 1-0 victory against the Tampa Bay Rays. “He was electric,” manager Alex Cora said. All this with Whitlock only 10½ months removed from an internal brace procedure to repair a ligament tear in his elbow. A multi-inning role in high-leverage situations plays to Whitlock's strengths given he has made 23 starts in his career. Source: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/17/sports/garr... |
| 3/31/25 | Garrett Whitlock may have found his niche, and more thoughts on the Red Sox. Whitlock had a terrific rookie season as a Rule 5 pick in 2021, posting a 1.96 ERA over 46 relief appearances for a 92-win team that advanced to the ALCS. In the three seasons that followed, the righthander made 23 starts and 34 relief appearances. A series of injuries during those seasons sidetracked what appeared to be promising career to a point where a frustrated Whitlock considered retirement. The plan is to use Whitlock in a multi-inning role to serve as a bridge between the starter and the high-leverage relievers Cora wants to employ late in games.

It didn't take long to happen. In the season opener against the Texas Rangers, Cora seized the opportunity to show what he meant.
