The offseason has yet to really get underway, with teams not still participating in postseason action (all but three at this point) remaining in preliminary planning stages before the movement begins in earnest. That said, smaller roster moves can still be made now and that includes releasing players. The Red Sox did just that on Friday, announcing they had released Steven Wright.
This is not really much of a surprise, as Wright’s last two years have been affected greatly by combinations of suspension and injury. In the offseason prior to the 2018 season, he was arrested on charges of domestic abuse and was subsequently suspended for 15 games by the league.
