Red Sox Rumors: Kenley Jansen Agrees to 2-Year, $32M Contract in MLB Free Agency

Free-agent relief pitcher Kenley Jansen has agreed to a contract with the Boston Red Sox, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

The reported deal is worth $32 million over two years.

Jansen burst on to the MLB scene in 2010 with the Los Angeles Dodgers by posting a 0.67 ERA in 25 games.

Two years later, he became Los Angeles' full-time closer, a role he held for 10 years.

The three-time All-Star and 2020 World Series champion amassed 350 saves and a 2.37 ERA during his time in Dodger Blue.

After the 2021 campaign, Jensen signed a one-year, $16 million contract with the Braves.
