The Red Sox are interested in adding a lefty reliever. Could it be Tim Mayza?

"If you're asking if his warmup song is good, the answer is yes. I grew up listening to Chevelle in a "rebellious middle school student who wears Fox Racing" kind of way, so my ears perked up when I heard a newer Chevelle song blare over the Rogers Center speakers when he came into the game a few years ago. If you're asking the more important question about whether he's a good pitcher: sort of."

"Unfortunately, the team he was with for the first seven years of his career, the Blue Jays, made it to within an inning of being World Series champions. He's now, according to Chris Cotillo, one of few subjects of lefty relief interest (lol) for the Red Sox following some other recent reports that, at 38, Justin Wilson may be calling it a career."

Tim Mayza is a 33-year-old left-handed reliever from Allentown, Pennsylvania who most recently pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies and helped his childhood team in a postseason run. He spent the first seven years of his career with the Blue Jays, who nearly reached a World Series title. Mayza returned from a major shoulder injury sustained with the Pirates and posted a improved FIP from 5.21 to 3.03 in 2025, but he was limited to 16 2/3 innings. He has never ranked high in strikeouts, has struggled with walks at times, and profiles as a ground-ball specialist while providing bullpen depth.
