Boston's AL East rival gives Jamie Westbrook an invitation to spring training and a chance to impress the Rays.
One of those pitchers, lefty Ian Seymour, showed his stuff in Wednesday’s 8-2 exhibition win over the Red Sox. Seymour worked the first two innings, striking out Boston frontliners Jarren Duran and Alex Bregman and allowing just a walk to a lineup that also included Triston Casas, Trevor Story and Ceddanne Rafaela.
The Red Sox announced on Sunday that Monday’s game at JetBlue Park will be moved from 1:05 p.m. to 4:05 p.m. EST because of significant rainfall expected earlier in the day in the Fort Myers area.
Jack Flaherty and Kenta Maeda combined to allow four runs in five innings in the Detroit Tigers' 6-5 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Thursday.
Marcelo Mayer went 3-for-3 with an RBI triple and a two-run home run, Roman Anthony added the go-ahead double and the visiting Boston Red Sox hung on to beat the Detroit Tigers' split squad in spring training action Thursday in Lakeland,
Liam Hendriks and Aroldis Chapman both made their spring debuts on Wednesday and showed potential to finish games.
Westbrook slashed .267/.364/.436 in 49 games for the Worcester Red Sox with five home runs and 25 RBI before he was called up to the majors for the first time. The Massachusetts native made his MLB debut with the Red Sox after 11 minor league seasons with five different organizations.
The Boston Red Sox are gearing up for the 2025 campaign, but they aren't done adding to their roster just yet. After they reunited with one of their former relief pitchers, Adam Ottavino, on a minor league deal earlier this week, the Red Sox brought another veteran relief pitcher to town on Thursday in Matt Moore.
Matt Moore is a decade removed from being an All-Star SP for the Rays, but the veteran has shown enough flashes as a RP that the Red Sox took a flier on him.
