The Boston Red Sox are expected to be active in free agency and could take advantage of a potential misfortunate slated to backfire on the American League East-rival Baltimore Orioles this offseason.
Baltimore acquired right-handed pitcher Corbin Burnes in February from the Milwaukee Brewers in a four-player trade that also included a draft selection. Burnes left a strong first impression with the Orioles, going 15-9 with a 2.92 ERA in 194 1/3 innings and becoming one of five team representatives in the 2024 MLB All-Star Game.
