The Boston Red Sox have a number of players with uncertain futures heading into this offseason, but we now know of at least one pitcher that spent time with the big league team in 2016 that won’t be returning.
Right-handed pitcher Sean O’Sullivan has signed on with the Korea Baseball Organization’s Nexen Heroes, reports Dan Kurtz of MYKBO.net. His deal is worth $1.1 million.
O’Sullivan signed a minor league deal with the Red Sox last offseason and spent most of the year in Triple-A Pawtucket. He made five major league appearances with the Red Sox, including four starts, going 2-0 with a 6.
