"If triggered, an upward mobility clause would push the Sox to make Kahnle available to all 29 other clubs. If any other club would put him on its major league roster, the Red Sox would either have to select Kahnle to their own 40-man roster or allow him to depart to an organization that would put him in the major league bullpen."
"Through the season's first month, Kahnle has done a nice job trying to force Boston's hand. The 36-year-old has pitched 8 1/3 innings out of the Worcester bullpen, allowing three earned runs (3.24 ERA) on eight hits and three walks."
"Kahnle's 92.7 mph average fastball would be the lowest of his career, although through the first month of the 2025 season in Detroit, he wasn't much higher (93.1 mph). It seems reasonable to expect Kahnle's heater to gain a bit of life as he continues to build up this season."
Tommy Kahnle, a veteran right-hander, is currently with the Red Sox' Triple-A affiliate and has triggered an upward mobility clause in his contract. This clause allows him to be made available to all 29 other MLB teams. Kahnle has performed well in the minors, pitching 8 1/3 innings with a 3.24 ERA and striking out 22.2% of batters faced. His average fastball velocity is 92.7 mph, the lowest of his career, but he is known for his effective changeup, which he uses 59.5% of the time.
