Breaking News: Red Sox pring Training Roster Gets a Power Boost with the Addition of Seasoned Southpaw Lucas Luetge!
Luetge brings a wealth of experience, boasting a remarkable 3.60 career ERA and a staggering 226 strikeouts across 230 Major League games. While he faced challenges last season after shining with the Yankees, his presence add significant depth to Boston’s lefty bullpen options.
In a calculated move to strengthen their catching lineup, the Sox also secured the services of 32-year-old C Tyler Heineman, acquired from the Mets for cash considerations. With Connor Wong slated as the primary catcher for 2023, Heineman adds competition for the backup role and serves as a reliable injury insurance. Having split last season between the Pirates and Blue Jays, Heineman, a switch-hitter, made 16 starts behind the plate and held a respectable .237 batting average.
But that’s not all! The Red Sox continue to fine-tune their roster, claiming INF/OF Romy Gonzalez from the White Sox on January 31. The 27-year-old utility player adds versatility to the bench, having played multiple positions with the White Sox. With a career batting average of .222, Gonzalez brings a mix of power, speed, and defensive prowess.
