Red Sox Add LHP Alec Gamboa on Minor-League Split Deal With Spring Invite

The left-hander will compete in camp on a minor-league split deal paying $925,000 in the majors.

Overview

  • The agreement was reported by The Athletic’s Will Sammon and echoed by multiple outlets, with no team announcement cited.
  • Gamboa’s contract includes a non-roster invitation to big-league spring training and a $925,000 salary if he reaches the majors.
  • The 28-year-old was a 2019 ninth-round pick by the Dodgers and has yet to make his MLB debut after six seasons in their system.
  • He moved from Triple-A Oklahoma City to the KBO’s Lotte Giants in May 2025, making 19 starts with a 3.58 ERA and 117 strikeouts in 108 innings, with Newsweek listing a 7–8 record.
