Red Sox rumored to be interested in free agent reliever Seranthony Dominguez
"He's played for two of the four other teams in the AL East in the last 18 months, most recently for Toronto after being traded across the ballpark in between games of a double-header with Baltimore. The image of him serving up a 97 mile an hour meatball to Shohei Ohtani in the World Series may be burned in the mind of Blue Jays fans, but he pitched pretty solidly in the postseason, as he also did in Philadelphia in 2022's "Red October.""
"Dominguez is among one of the very best relievers on the market this year. He has that aforementioned high-nineties fastball that has touched 100 on occasion but averages 97.7, and that leads to a whiff percentage that places him in the highest sixth-percentile in the sport. He struggles with control on his secondary pitches (see below) but he replaced his slider with a sweeper, and that sweeper approaches 90 and generally looks very sharp."
Seranthony Dominguez is a 31-year-old right-handed reliever from the Dominican Republic who debuted in 2018 and has pitched for multiple AL East teams recently. He appeared in the World Series for Toronto and produced notable postseason work in Philadelphia during 2022. Dominguez averages a 97.7 mph fastball that has touched 100, generates elite whiff rates, and has replaced his slider with an effective near-90 mph sweeper. He carries persistent control concerns—he once led the league in wild pitches and ranks near the bottom in walk rate—yet posted 62 2/3 IP, 3.16 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 79 K, 36 BB in 2025. His profile fits as a high-leverage setup option whose strikeout upside offsets walk risk.
