The Boston Red Sox have officially signed right-handed pitcher Chase Anderson to a one-year contract for the 2024 season. Anderson, who is now at JetBlue Park with the Red Sox, is expected to bolster the team's pitching depth, contributing both in the bullpen and as part of the starting rotation. His role as a multi-inning reliever who can also add starting depth was a key factor in the acquisition. The signing, first reported by MLB trade rumors and later confirmed by various sources including the Boston Globe and the official Red Sox Twitter account, required making room on the 40-man roster. This was achieved by placing right-handed pitcher Lucas Giolito on the 60-Day Injured List, reflecting the team's strategic move to enhance their pitching options with Anderson's versatility.

Wrote yesterday that the Sox wanted to add to depth by signing a swing-man, likely to open the year in the bullpen but capable of starting. Chase Anderson (first reported by @chriscotillo) represents that. https://t.co/drmUzlhLoA via @BostonGlobe
