Red Sox Reportedly Once Again ‘Checked In On’ Veteran Reliever

The Boston Red Sox reportedly have once again “checked in on” right-handed pitcher Tommy Kahnle.

It’s tradition…

Boston remains in the market for bullpen arms, which has included showing interest in left-handers Justin Wilson, Cionel Perez, Tim Mayza and Danny Coulombe, and right-handers Seranthony Domínguez and Kahnle, according to MassLive’s Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam.

Kahnle, 36, is the newest addition to that list, though interest between both sides stems back several years and is reignited almost every offseason.

Kahnle, who has a 3.23 ERA across stints with the Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers since 2022, rejected them twice across that stretch to ultimately chase championships with teams coming off division titles.

It’ll remain to be seen whether or not the latest round of discussions will actually lead to anything, but it can’t hurt trying once again.
