Red Sox fans have been clamoring all offseason for the team to make a splash and sign a big name in free agency. So far, Boston has explored big moves, but hasn’t actually made any.
Sam Kennedy opened up the Red Sox’s press conference on Friday night with a statement that suggests a big free agency push might not be in the cards at all in 2024.
Speaking prior to Red Sox Winter Weekend, the CEO told the media the team’s payroll for this season will “probably be lower” than it was in 2023. The payroll last year was $225 million.
