"The Red Sox have signed right-hander Devin Sweet to a minor league deal, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. He has been assigned to Triple-A Worcester but may get an invite to big league camp in spring training."
"Sweet, 29, has a limited big league track record. He tossed 8 2/3 innings in 2023, split between the Mariners and Athletics. He allowed ten earned runs, giving him an unsightly 10.38 earned run average in that small sample."
Devin Sweet, 29, signed a minor-league deal with the Red Sox and was assigned to Triple-A Worcester with a possible invite to big-league spring camp. He has 8 2/3 MLB innings from 2023 with a 10.38 ERA and experienced multiple waiver moves between 2023 and 2025, including time on the Phillies' 40-man before being outrighted and reaching free agency. From 2021–2024 he threw 257 2/3 minor-league innings with a 4.19 ERA, a 30% strikeout rate and a 9.2% walk rate. A 2025 Triple-A downturn (5.08 ERA, 21.2% K, 11.7% BB) reduced interest. The signing is a low-risk move that adds bullpen depth while preserving roster flexibility because Sweet has an option year remaining and under one year of MLB service time.
