Brayan Bello Drawing Interest on Trade Market
According to Chris Henrique of The Boston Sports Journal, the Red Sox have received interest in right-handed starting pitcher Brayan Bello. Henrique notes that, given Boston's starting pitching depth, teams have begun to call to acquire Bello. Additionally, the team has started "quietly" gauging his value on the trade market. Bello logged a career-high 166 2/3 innings last season and posted a 3.35 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP. He struck out 124 hitters and showed solid command, allowing walks at an 8.4% rate. However, he posted a rather high 4.48 xERA, suggesting he may regress in 2026. With Ranger Suarez joining the rotation and several budding arms in contention for a lead role like Connelly Early and Payton Tolle, the Red Sox may look to move Bello to improve their starting lineup instead.
