Report: Boston Red Sox Checked In On Pittsburgh Pirates Pitcher

Title: Report: Boston Red Sox Checked In On Pittsburgh Pirates Pitcher The Boston Red Sox have shown interest in Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Jared Jones during the Winter Meetings in Dallas. The Red Sox recently traded for Garrett Crochet and signed Walker Buehler, indicating active engagement in strengthening their pitching lineup. Boston is also in talks with free agents Nathan Eovaldi and Nick Pivetta, alongside discussions with the Pirates about Jones. The Pirates previously traded Joe Vogatsky to the Red Sox for Enmanuel Valdez, indicating a collaborative trading relationship. The Pirates are open to trade offers for both Jared Jones and Mitch Keller, suggesting they are considering significant roster changes. Despite trading Luis Ortiz to the Guardians, the Pirates remain receptive to further trades to enhance their team. Jared Jones had a mixed rookie season, finishing with a 6-8 record and a 4.14 ERA, but faced injuries that limited his performance. In the second half of the 2024 season, Jones struggled with a strained lat, resulting in a 5.87 ERA over his last innings pitched. The Pirates are focused on improving their offense for the 2025 season and are willing to discuss trades that could help address this need. Acquiring a first baseman, such as Triston Casas, was considered in potential trades for Jones or Keller, but the Pirates secured Spencer Horwitz as their future first baseman.
