The Red Sox Showed Interest in Gleyber Torres

[Davy Andrews]

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.

the Sox are ALWAYS interested in EVERY top FA on the market but when it comes to actually bucking up Ebenezer Henry closes his wallet.  Man i hate this guy now.  SELL Henry SELL SELL SELL PLEASE.

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.

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.

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

Especially since it’s probably lots of clickbait…

It depends on what numbers we look at, and what site.

I doubt we are done spending, so by opening day, we could be higher than last year.

The Red Sox have reported interest in your disinterest. But they won't do anything about it.

When Sam said they'll exceed the CBT, he meant Cease Buying Talent.

Sox still have a commanding lead with 8 We Trieds this offseason. Next closest team is at 5. Really impressive bit of business.
