The Red Sox’ most powerful hitter this past season has landed with an American League East foe in free agency.
Tyler O’Neill reportedly agreed to a three-year, $49.5 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday, according to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman. The 29-year-old outfielder hit a team-high 31 home runs in his first and only season with Boston in 2024.
O’Neill was a candidate to receive MLB’s one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer from the Red Sox this offseason, but the club opted not to extend it to him.
