The Red Sox Showed Interest in Gleyber Torres

The Red Sox weren't publicly linked to Gleyber Torres in any prominent fashion. However, now that the Tigers have signed the second baseman, Evan Petznold of the Detroit Free Press reports that the Red Sox were one of many, many teams in on him. The list also includes the Reds, Guardians, Angels, Giants, Blue Jays and Nationals. Torres is coming off a slightly down season, but has been a solid second baseman since his debut in 2018. The Red Sox have an obvious need at second base, and Torres was apparently insistent on a one-year deal, which would fit with their recent predilections. So far this offseason, the only player the Sox have signed to a multi-year deal was Patrick Sandoval, who is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery and will only have one full year with the team.

Throughout the offseason, I have been tracking teams that were reported to have interest in a player after they signed or got traded elsewhere. The Red Sox have appeared on the list eight times. No other team has been on it more than five times.

Their only "interest" is if the guy they want will take millions less to play for the Sox. They think if they kick 50 tires, one will take the kick and like it.

so is our current payroll higher now that it ended 2024 Moon?

cots has the CBT budget at $210M, now..

Last year's was $226M at the end of the year, counting D Jansen, L Garcia, Sims and paying off guys we cut.

Opening day payroll only: $174M, now and $171M in '24.

Hard to say.

so it is still declining in relation to the rest of MLB ??  Happy new year John Henry  says.

It's like they've fallen in love with the Interest Kings image.  Which is pretty weird!

conversely, my interest in the Red Sox is falling.
