"Spring training is set to begin in a couple of weeks, but the Red Sox still appear open to making an impactful trade. Boston has received interest in its pitching depth, as has been the rumored case all offseason. However, "nothing is imminent," but the Red Sox have been "active in trade talks for an infielder," The Athletic's Jen McCaffrey reported Friday. Among the pitchers discussed are starters Brayan Bello and Patrick Sandoval, as well as reliever Jordan Hicks."
"Bello has reportedly been on the trade block all winter. Boston was reportedly "shopping" the 26-year-old as of last month, whose upside and team-friendly contract would be appealing to any team in the market for an arm. Bello is entering the third year of his six-year, $55 million deal. Sandoval, 29, has yet to pitch for the Red Sox since joining the organization in late 2024 due to a torn UCL. He'll likely pitch this season."
Spring training begins in a couple of weeks and the Red Sox remain open to making an impactful trade. Boston has drawn interest in its extensive pitching depth, including starters Brayan Bello and Patrick Sandoval and reliever Jordan Hicks. Bello is entering the third year of a six-year, $55 million contract and has been on the trade block all winter. Sandoval missed 2025 recovering from a torn UCL but is expected to pitch this season. Hicks struggled in 2025 with an 8.20 ERA and will enter the second half of a four-year deal with a salary increase in 2026. Boston's depth could attract teams seeking an impact infielder.
