Red Sox Reportedly Interested in Soon-To-Be Eight-Year Veteran in Free Agency

Boston could improve its lineup even more with this move.

Red Sox Reportedly Interested in Soon-To-Be Eight-Year Veteran in Free Agency

The Boston Red Sox are reportedly considering signing catcher Ryan Jeffers, a 29-year-old free agent from the Minnesota Twins, according to recent reports. Jeffers, who will enter his eighth season in the major leagues next year, has posted a 109 career OPS+ and hit 21 home runs in 2024. The Red Sox have reportedly shown interest in multiple offensive players, following their recent acquisition of Jake Bauers.

Despite recently acquiring catcher Adley Rutschman through trade, the Red Sox are reportedly uninterested in retaining him long-term and are looking for another offensive player who can perform at a high level. Jeffers' 127 OPS+ last season suggests he has the ability to contribute significantly to the Red Sox' offense.
