10/11/24 | Red Sox Predicted To 'Spend Big' On $65 Million Lefty In Free Agency By Insider. While perhaps not the most pressing issue the club is facing, the Boston Red Sox bullpen is certainly up in the air heading into 2025. After a second-half bullpen collapse contributed heavily to the Red Sox missing the playoffs, Boston is faced with having to retool their relief group on the fly. Veterans Kenley Jansen and Chris Martin are both hitting free agency, and most of the returners are either inexperienced or ineffective. Without Jansen in particular, the Red Sox don't have a bullpen arm with relevant closing experience within the last two seasons. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news... |
10/09/24 | Phillies Urged To Poach Red Sox's Projected $72 Million Star. The Boston Red Sox are entering an important offseason that could see some important pieces leave the organization. Boston had an up-and-down 2024 season that ended with an 81-81 record. While this is the case, Boston could lose some players as well, even if it is more aggressive this winter. One player who already has been consistently mentioned as someone who could leave the club is star closer Kenley Jansen. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news... |
10/07/24 | Speculation Building Red Sox $32 Million Star Will Sign With Dodgers. It's clear that one Boston Red Sox star will be among the top players available this winter in free agency. Boston has had star closer Kenley Jansen for the last two years, but he will be a free agent this winter, and it doesn't seem like he's coming back to the Red Sox. There was plenty of speculation about a possible trade, but the Red Sox decided against moving him. Now, the Red Sox don't necessarily have a choice.

10/06/24 | Pending Red Sox free agent reliever projected to receive a $30 million contract. The Boston Red Sox have a number of key contributors from their 2024 team who will hit the free agent market this offseason, including closer Kenley Jansen. Jansen signed a two-year, $32 million deal with Boston after the 2022 season and over the course of that deal, he appeared in 105 games and posted a 3.44 ERA, 1.158 WHIP and 10.3 K/9 while converting 56 saves. Now, at 37 years old, Jansen is set to hit the market again, and considering the Red Sox's future plans, it doesn't feel like he'll be playing in Boston again in 2025. While there are surely other teams that will be interested in Jansen's services, what could we expect him to get in a new deal? Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/boston-red-sox... |
10/05/24 | Ex-Yankees All-Star, Predicted $6 Million Hurler Linked To Red Sox. Will the Boston Red Sox find a way to bolster the bullpen this winter? Boston's bullpen let the club down in the second half of the season, and there will be holes to fill. Kenley Jansen and Chris Martin both will be free agents, and it's unclear if they will be back. Boston needs to find a way to bring in multiple high-leverage relievers. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news... |

Boston's bullpen didn't have overall success in 2024, but star closer Kenley Jansen unsurprisingly impressed. Jansen appeared in 54 games with Boston and had a 3.29 ERA and 27 saves. The Red Sox were struggling in the closer role, and Jansen filled it well over the last two years. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news... |

Tanner Scott promises to be at the top of Breslow's free agent wish list, but Jeff Hoffman of the Philadelphia Phillies should be there, too.
