Yhoiker Fajardo

BOS

Red Sox acquired RHP Yhoiker Fajardo from the White Sox in exchange for LHP Cam Booser.

Fajardo is an 18-year-old hurler who made 13 starts in the DSL with a 3.91 ERA and impressive 64/8 K/BB over 50 2/3 innings. The right-hander is essentially a lottery ticket for Boston.
Cam Booser

BOS Relief Pitcher #71

Robert Murray of FanSided reports that the White Sox will acquire Cam Booser in a trade with the Red Sox.

No word on the return, but multiple outlets report that the White Sox will send Boston a minor league pitcher. Booser was a solid performer for the Red Sox in 2024 with a 3.38 ERA over 43 appearances with a 43/16 K/BB over 42 2/3 innings. He’ll likely be a high-leverage reliever for the rebuilding and then some Chicago staff.
Noah Davis

FA Relief Pitcher #63

Noah Davis wrote on Instagram that he’s agreed to a deal with the Red Sox.

It’s likely a minor league deal. Davis, who has been working out at Driveline, spent the last 3 1/2 years in the Rockies organization, amassing a 7.71 ERA in six starts and 12 relief appearances at the big-league level. He’s mostly started in the minors, but the Red Sox will likely want to take a look at him as a reliever.
Patrick Sandoval

FA Starting Pitcher #43

The Red Sox are signing Patrick Sandoval to a two-year, $18.25 million contract, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

He’ll get $5.5 million in 2025 and $12.75 million in 2026, which means Sandoval has probably made out better in terms of his new contract than any non-tendered player ever. The rehabbing lefty was projected for a $5.9 million salary next season by Matt Swartz, and he would not have been in line for a big raise in 2026, which was slated to be his final year prior to free agency, after missing at least the first half of 2025 following Tommy John. Sandoval was 2-8 with a 5.08 ERA for the Angels before getting hurt last season, but he had typically solid strikeout and groundball rates. He has a career 4.01 ERA in 100 starts and seven relief appearances, all coming with the Angels.
Michael Fulmer

BOS Relief Pitcher #32

Red Sox invited RHP Michael Fulmer, RHP Isaiah Campbell, RHP Bryan Mata, RHP Wyatt Mills, C Seby Zavala and INF-OF Nate Eaton to spring training.

Fulmer signed a two-year, minor-league deal with the Red Sox in February after undergoing Tommy John surgery. There was speculation the Red Sox would add him to the 40-man in order to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, but they decided against it, and no one opted to take a chance on him. He’ll be 16 months removed from surgery when spring training begins, so he should be in position to compete for a job. He’ll probably be a reliever if he makes the team, but he hasn’t been ruled out as a starter.
Carlos Estevez

FA Relief Pitcher #53

According to Hector Gomez of Z101 Digital, the Phillies, Yankees and Red Sox have all expressed interest in free agent right-hander Carlos Estévez.

The Blue Jays are already known to have expressed interest in the 31-year-old hurler and it looks like they’ll have plenty of competition from their large market brethren. Estévez was acquired by the Phillies at last season’s trade deadline and racked up six saves for them down the stretch while posting a 2.57 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 21 innings. His fantasy value will ultimately hinge on whether or not he’ll close with his new club or be relegated to a setup role.
Enmanuel Valdez

PIT Third Baseman #47

Pirates acquired INF Enmanuel Valdez from the Red Sox for RHP Joe Vogatsky.

Valdez was DFA’d by the Red Sox last week. The 25-year-old has hit .235/.286/.400 with 12 homers in 372 plate appearances the last two seasons, and it’s easy to imagine him doing a little better than that going forward. The problem is that he’s a subpar defender at second base, and he just doesn’t project very well anywhere else. The Pirates will give him a look at second in spring training, but that still figures to be Nick Gonzales’s spot. Valdez could wind up seeing DH time if the team doesn’t acquire a full-timer for that spot.
Joe Vogatsky

BOS Relief Pitcher

Red Sox acquired RHP Joe Vogatsky from the Pirates for INF Enmanuel Valdez.

Vogatsky, a 19th-round pick in the 2024 draft, has yet to make his pro debut. He was a reliever at James Madison, finishing with a 3.24 ERA in 49 innings last season.
Luis Castillo

SEA Starting Pitcher #58

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Mets and Orioles are among the teams who have checked in on Luis Castillo.

Castillo, 32, has been the subject of trade rumors as of late, with the Red Sox and Cubs being mentioned as the top suitors for the right-hander. Rosenthal note that the Mariners won’t just dump Castillo and will only move him if it makes the team better, and both New York and Baltimore — among others — have players that could make Seattle’s lineup better. It won’t be a big surprise if Castillo plays elsewhere before the start of 2025.
Alex Bregman

FA Third Baseman #2

Astros’ general manager Dana Brown told reporters on Friday that the team is still pursuing a reunion with third baseman Alex Bregman, though they face strong competition.

Ari Alexander of KPRC2 in Houston notes that the Yankees, Mets and Red Sox are all involved in the bidding, while the Tigers and Blue Jays are believed to be in the mix as well. With that much interest — including from some of the biggest market clubs in all of baseball — it looks increasingly likely that Bregman will wind up with a deal in the neighborhood of $200 million. The Astros are known to have offered a six-year pact worth around $156 million and may wind up getting priced out here if things get too crazy.
