Red Sox Sign Veteran Reliever Justin Wilson to Bolster Bullpen

The 37-year-old left-hander agrees to a $2.25 million, one-year contract with performance bonuses, pending a physical.

Justin Wilson, a 12-year MLB veteran, joins the Boston Red Sox after a challenging season with the Cincinnati Reds.
Wilson posted a 1-5 record with a 5.59 ERA in 60 games for Cincinnati in 2024, striking out 51 batters in 46 2/3 innings.
The Red Sox bullpen struggled last season, ranking 24th in the league, prompting the team to make strategic changes.
Wilson's contract includes potential performance bonuses totaling $750,000 based on games pitched.
Chris Holt has been hired as the Red Sox's new bullpen coach, previously serving as Baltimore's pitching coach.
