Justin Wilson Considering Retirement

Jan 7, 2026, 12:59 PM ET

Free-agent relief pitcher Justin Wilson is considering retirement, The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon report. The 38-year-old Wilson is coming off another solid season with the Boston Red Sox, throwing 48 1/3 innings with a 3.35 ERA and 27.5% strikeout rate in 61 total appearances. Wilson also notched 18 holds with Boston last season, his most since 2016 with the Tigers. The 13-year veteran is reportedly unlikely to pitch in 2026 unless he receives a "fair deal" with a World Series contender. The southpaw profiles as one of the top available lefty relievers on the market and would be a valuable addition to a contending team's bullpen.--Kyle McCarthy
