Red Sox's Mark Kolozsvary: Returning to Boston
Kolozsvary signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Kolozsvary spent all of last season at Triple-A Worcester, where he slashed .185/.349/.354 with 10 RBI across 83 plate appearances. He'll stick around in the Red Sox organization for the upcoming season, though he's unlikely to spend much time with the big-league squad.

Red Sox's Lucas Giolito: Ramping up to spring training
Giolito (elbow) has thrown four bullpen sessions this winter and expects to be a "full-go" when spring training begins next month, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. "The progression of my rehab at this point pretty much has me right in line with where I would be as a healthy player," he said.
An elbow injury during 2024 spring training wiped out the first season of Giolito's two-year contract with Boston. Prior to the injury, the right-hander altered the grip on his slider, worked on his changeup and tweaked pitch usages, designed to avoid the results of 2023, when he ceded 41 home runs (2.0 HR/9). Whether the tweaks led to the injury is unknown, but Giolito continued to hone those offerings during the current ramp-up to 2025. The 30-year-old enters camp as one of six viable starters, and the Red Sox haven't ruled out using a six-man rotation.

Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: In mix at second base
Campbell will be part of the competition during spring training for the starting job at second base, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Of Boston's top prospects, Campbell has the clearest path to a spot on the the major-league roster because of his defensive versatility. The Red Sox don't have a surefire starter at the keystone at this point, and Campbell will join Vaughn Grissom as the top candidates for the position. Campbell didn't start 2024 as a highly regarded prospect, but he put himself on the radar by slashing .329/.437/.551 with 19 home runs, 24 steals and a 20 percent strikeout rate in 115 games across the top three levels of the minor leagues.

Red Sox's Matt McShane: Dealt to Boston
The Red Sox acquired McShane from the Pirates on Friday in exchange for Chase Shugart, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
McShane has yet to make his pro debut after being taken in the 14th round of the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. The 22-year-old reliever figures to be assigned to the lower levels of Boston's minor-league system.

Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Avoids arbitration
The Red Sox and Duran avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.75 million contract with an $8 million club option for 2026 on Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The club option could escalate up to $12 million based on where Duran finishes in the 2025 American League MVP voting. This was the first of four arbitration years for Duran, as he earned an extra year as a Super 2 qualifier. The 28-year-old slashed .285/.342/.492 with 21 home runs and 34 stolen bases for the Red Sox in 2024.

Red Sox's Yovanny Cruz: Gets NRI from Boston

Cruz, 25, spent the 2024 season at Double-A San Antonio in the Padres organization, holding a 4.55 ERA and 35:16 K:BB over 29.2 frames. The reliever is likely to begin the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Worcester.

Red Sox's Chase Shugart: Booted from 40-man roster
The Red Sox designated Shugart for assignment Wednesday, Hunter Noll of Beyond the Monster reports.
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Blake Sabol, who was acquired from San Francisco via trade. Shugart, 28, made his major-league debut in 2024, allowing four runs over 8.2 frames out of Boston's bullpen. He should stand a good chance of passing through waivers unclaimed.

Red Sox's Blake Sabol: Traded to Boston
The Red Sox acquired Sabol from the Giants on Wednesday in exchange for international bonus pool space, Hunter Noll of Beyond the Monster reports.
Sabol had been designated for assignment but will now join a new 40-man roster. The 27-year-old has put up a .705 OPS over 121 games at the big-league level and is capable of playing the outfield in addition to catching. Sabol is likely to begin the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Worcester.

Red Sox's Dorian Soto: Lands seven-figure deal
The Red Sox signed Soto for $1.4 million Wednesday, Ben Badler of Baseball America reports.
Soto has been trending up late in the international free agent process. A 6-foot-3, 185-pound switch hitter from the Dominican Republic, Soto has massive power potential and may have to move from shortstop to third base as he continues to fill out his frame. He doesn't project to make a ton of impact on the bases, but Soto has one of the highest offensive ceilings in this year's Jan. 15 international signing class.

Red Sox's Robert Stock: Signs with Boston as NRI
The Red Sox signed Stock to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Stock most recently pitched in the Mexican Pacific Winter League, posting a 1.60 ERA and 78:37 K:BB over 84.1 innings. The 35-year-old last saw action in the majors back in 2021 and is a long shot to capture an Opening Day roster spot. It's not clear whether the Red Sox plan to use Stock as a starting pitcher or reliever.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Could play some outfield in 2025
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said last week during the team's Fenway Fest fan event that Yoshida (shoulder) being able to play the outfield in 2025 "would be great for the roster," Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Yoshida was a full-time designated hitter in 2024, playing the outfield for just one inning in an emergency situation. The Red Sox had indicated previously that Yoshida's lack of time in the field was simply due to the club having better defensive options. However, Cora is now saying it was mainly because of Yoshida being compromised physically by a labral tear in his right shoulder, which he eventually had surgery on in early October. The hope is that Yoshida will be ready for Opening Day and it sounds like he could see a little outfield duty in 2025 for the Red Sox. That's if he's still with the team, of course, as his name has been bandied about in trade rumors.

Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Increasing versatility
Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that the Red Sox plan to give Mayer (back) more time at second and third base, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Mayer has been used almost exclusively at shortstop while rising through the ranks of Boston's farm system, playing just two games at third base in three seasons. He's expected to begin the new season at Triple-A Worcester, and adding some defensive versatility figures to give him a better shot at making his big-league debut midway through the year.

Red Sox's Garrett Whitlock: Returning to bullpen
Whitlock (elbow) said Saturday that he will move back to the bullpen in 2025, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Whitlock moved to the Red Sox's rotation last season, but he made just four starts before undergoing season-ending elbow surgery in May. He had already been expected to return shortly after the start of the 2025 campaign, but now that he'll no longer need to build up to a starter's workload, the 28-year-old righty could make his season debut earlier than anticipated.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Could be used in outfield
Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Hamilton may occasionally play in the outfield this season, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Cora added that the Red Sox would like Hamilton to be as versatile as possible for the sake of roster flexibility. The 27-year-old has been used exclusively at second base and shortstop throughout his MLB career, though he has started eight games in center field in the minors.
