Red Sox Winter Meetings Live: Latest Rumors, Trades, Signings

The Red Sox and their MLB counterparts have reached a critical juncture of the offseason.

Monday marked the start of the winter meetings, which will run through Thursday in Dallas. There were plenty of fireworks before the festivities commenced, as Juan Soto reportedly made his highly anticipated free agency decision Sunday evening.

But with Soto now off the board, the rest of the offseason dominoes are expected to fall. And you can find all of the updates here.

1:51 p.m.: The Red Sox are on the verge of trading for Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox, as first reported by the Boston Globe’s Julian McWilliams. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported the deal is in the medical phase, and trending toward becoming official.

12:55 p.m.: The Red Sox are rumored to be interested in trading for Dylan Cease, but they reportedly could face competition via the Baltimore Orioles.

Tuesday
10 p.m.: Chris Martin is at the Winter Meetings and told MassLive’s Sean McAdam that the Red Sox are “right up there” with the other teams in pursuit of the veteran reliever. ESPN’s Jorge Castillo reported Martin met with the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers.

5:47 p.m.: The Yankees beat out the Red Sox for starting pitcher Max Fried. New York handed the 30-year-old lefty a massive eight-year, $218 million contract, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

5:01 p.m.: The Red Sox might have a backup option if they fail to sign Max Fried or Corbin Burnes. According to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi, the Red Sox have shown interest in trading for San Diego Padres ace Dylan Cease.
