As free agency approaches, some Boston Red Sox players may explore different opportunities. Despite the team’s promising future, they’ve struggled to compete in recent years. This offseason, the Red Sox will likely seek ways to improve, though they could face a roster crunch.
One of the most intriguing players to watch is star closer Kenley Jansen, who has impressed with a 3.48 ERA in 51 appearances this season. A former All-Star, Jansen is expected to be highly sought after in free agency.
While Jansen could return to Boston, there will be strong competition for his services. MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo has even identified the Los Angeles Dodgers as a potential suitor.
“Big-market teams will pose a threat to sign Jansen again,” Cotillo noted. “The Yankees are a strong fit, and Jansen has expressed interest in returning to the Dodgers. However, the Red Sox remain in the mix, especially with uncertainty at the back of their bullpen. Manager Alex Cora has repeatedly emphasized the value of a set closer like Jansen, making a reunion a real possibility.”
Jansen has been everything the Red Sox hoped for, but the question remains: will he stay with the team much longer?
