He is one of the top remaining relievers in free agency, but he’s unlikely to join the Boston Red Sox. Although He has been linked to Boston, especially after the Red Sox missed out on lefty Tanner Scott, the 32-year-old would offer an experienced, high-leverage arm to a bullpen currently without a clear closer.
However, according to MassLive’s Chris Cotillo, Boston isn’t among the leading teams to sign Him. Cotillo mentioned on Wednesday via X, “The Red Sox have checked in, but they’re not serious at this point.
I wonder if they’re exploring the trade market for the bullpen. To me, they should just spend; they have the room. There are plenty of options, just overpay a little and get one.”
MLB Trade Rumors forecasts a three-year, $27 million deal for Him. Over the past two seasons, Estévez posted a 3.22 ERA with 57 saves in 117 appearances.
He spent the entire 2023 season with the Los Angeles Angels before being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies midseason. For Boston, their key bullpen additions so far this offseason have been lefties Aroldis Chapman and Justin Wilson.
