Tim Mayza Could be an Option for Red Sox
According to Chris Cotillo of Mass Live, the Red Sox could look to target left-hander Tim Mayza in free agency. With Justin Wilson potentially considering a return, the Red Sox could look to sign Mayza to fill his role. Last season, the left-hander logged only 16 2/3 innings of work as he was sidelined for most of the campaign due to a left lat strain. During this brief stint, he split time with the Pirates and Phillies, posting a 3.78 ERA with a 1.32 WHIP. He struck out 15 hitters. In 2024, the southpaw logged 42 2/3 innings with the Yankees and Blue Jays, posting a high 6.33 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP. While Mayza could fill a low-leverage role in the Boston bullpen, managers should not expect him to compete for any high-leverage opportunities, given his recent struggles, if he were to sign there. Aroldis Chapman remains the clear-cut ninth-inning option, while Garrett Whitlock and Justin Slaten remain the top targets for holds.
