Former MLB GM dubs Red Sox
Digest more
The Red Sox selected Oklahoma right-hander Kyson Witherspoon with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. Witherspoon is the first pitcher taken by the Red Sox in the first round since Tanner Houck in 2017, and the highest drafted pitcher by the franchise since Jay Groome went No. 12 in 2016.
The Boston Red Sox do not figure to be in the market for a closer for this season. However, they may be interested in adding to their stellar bullpen and potentially adding a replacement for Aroldis Chapman.
