The Detroit Tigers have signed left-handed pitcher Andrew Chafin to a 1-year contract with a club option for 2025. Chafin's deal includes a $4.25 million salary for 2024, with a team option at $6.5 million for '25 and up to $1.25 million in bonuses based on games pitched. The Boston Red Sox have agreed to a two-year, $15 million deal with Korean baseball MVP Erick Fedde. Right-handed pitcher Yohan Ramírez has been designated for assignment to clear a 40-man spot. Additionally, the Red Sox have reached a one-year, $1 million guaranteed deal with right-hander Cooper Criswell, who could serve as a spot starter or multi-innings reliever and has an option remaining. Criswell, previously with Tampa Bay, leveraged his solid market into a fully guaranteed big league deal. The Red Sox have officially announced Criswell's one-year deal, and it is likely that he will be stretched out to provide depth. Criswell represents swingman depth and has the potential to be a buy low high reward candidate due to his numbers so far. The deal with Criswell is a major league contract. Red Sox Twitter has expressed potential concerns but also sees potential in Criswell's pitching development under Breslow's guidance.
Sox’ two-year, $15 million free-agent deal with Korean baseball MVP Erick Fedde is official. Right-handed pitcher Yohan Ramírez gets DFA’d to clear a 40-man spot.
Red Sox officially announce Cooper Criswell’s one-year deal. From last night, a look at the RHP, who is likely to be stretched out to provide depth (he has 1 option left) as either a starter or multi-innings reliever. https://t.co/O4NKTQFmWs via @BostonGlobe
Sources confirm @JeffPassan report that the Red Sox have reached agreement with RHP Cooper Criswell on a guaranteed one-year, $1M deal. Criswell represents swingman depth - he could be a spot starter or multi-innings reliever. He has an option remaining.
Criswell is definitely a buy low high reward candidate due to his numbers so far but Breslow has done well with pitching development. Nasty sweeper, solid sinker w/extension. It will get blasted on Red Sox Twitter for obvious reasons, but there’s potential https://t.co/xXKw36oDTJ
