Boston Red Sox are focusing on securing a contract with one of Major League Baseball’s top remaining free agents
Even though MLB spring training is in progress, numerous top free agents remain unsigned for the 2024 season. The Boston Red Sox, who missed the playoffs for the second consecutive year, seem keen on further roster upgrades. With a focus on strengthening their starting rotation, reports indicate that the Red Sox are prioritizing the signing of Jordan Montgomery over other available free agents.
However, negotiations are ongoing as teams, including the Red Sox, wait for Montgomery’s asking price to decrease. Montgomery’s value is likely elevated due to his recent success with the World Series-winning Texas Rangers, which could explain why he remains unsigned.
With a 3.20 ERA split between the St. Louis Cardinals and Rangers, Montgomery has proven he can significantly contribute to any rotation. If the Red Sox succeed in signing him, he would enhance a rotation already led by Brayan Bello, offering valuable depth to the Boston pitching staff.
