Red Sox Settle With Steven Wright
6 years agoThe Boston Red Sox avoided salary arbitration with pitcher Steven Wright by signing him to a one-year, $1.375 million deal. Knee issues limited the knuckleballer to only 53 2/3 innings (four starts) for the BoSox in 2018, but he was great when on the mound (2.68 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 7.0 K/9). He doesn't strike many out but can be a deep league streamer if he's in the rotation. Wright's role will be up in the air entering spring training, and his health will probably determine his role. He has no fantasy relevance as a swingman out of the bullpen.
