Brandon Workman to trigger opt out in deal

The Red Sox traded Brandon Workman back last summer in what looks to be a steal already, having gotten Nick Pivetta and Connor Seabold back in return. To make matters even better, they were able to get Workman back anyway after he became available early this season. Things had been trending down for the righty since the start of last season, and the Red Sox were able to bring him back on a minor-league deal. That deal included an opt-out, and Workman has apparently triggered it, giving the Red Sox 48 hours to decide whether or not they will promote him or make him available as a free agent.
