The Red Sox have made their first move since the lockout ended on Thursday.
Boston has agreed to a deal with left-handed reliever Matt Strahm, FanSided’s Robert Murray reported Sunday. The contract is a one-year deal worth $3 million, according to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman.
Strahm, 30, pitched for the San Diego Padres for the last four seasons. He only made six appearances in 2021 as he recovered from patellar tendon surgery on his right knee from the previous offseason. He gave up six earned runs over 6 2/3 innings pitched during the 2021 season.
