"Bello's lack of swing-and-miss stuff might hinder his ceiling as a legitimate ace or No. 2 option in a starting rotation. But the righty's age and favorable contract would make him a valuable asset for any team looking for a steady No. 3 starter for both 2026 and the foreseeable future."
"That current contract won't break the bank for several clubs, especially if Bello continues to take steps forward in his development. The 2025 campaign was Bello's best in the big leagues. He sported an 11-9 record with a 3.35 ERA across 29 appearances (28 starts). A sub-4.00 ERA for a starter just starting his prime years would be coveted by many teams, with a team like Arizona Diamondbacks reportedly on the prowl for young starting pitching this offseason."
Boston added starting pitchers Sonny Gray and Johan Oviedo this offseason while still exploring roster moves. Right-handed starter Brayan Bello has been quietly shopped, offering age and a favorable contract that make him attractive as a steady No. 3 starter. Bello posted an 11-9 record with a 3.35 ERA across 29 appearances in 2025. He lacks swing-and-miss stuff that could limit an ace ceiling, but is owed $50.5 million through 2029 with a $1 million buyout on a $21 million 2030 option. Arizona and other teams seeking young pitching could be interested, while Boston continues pursuing an impact bat.
