Tyler O’Neill spent one season with the Red Sox. During that time, the outfielder played in 113 games, hit a team high of 31 home runs, and was fourth on the team with 61 RBIs.
At the start of the offseason, O’Neill was a contender to receive a one-year qualifying offer. However, the Red Sox ended up extending the offer to pitcher Nick Pivetta, forgoing O’Neill in the hopes of acquiring Juan Soto.
“There just wasn’t that push from that side to get me,” O’Neill said during an appearance on WEEI’s “Baseball Isn’t Boring” podcast.
