Hours after signing Jason Delay to a minor league deal to bolster their catching depth, the Boston Red Sox inked another minor league deal to help shore up their pitching.
Boston has re-signed lefty pitcher Eduardo Rivera to a minor league deal, first reported by Alex Speier of The Boston Globe. Rivera, 22, had previously been a reliever in the Athletics organization, but it released him in May 2024. The Red Sox traded for him shortly after and he's been making his way up the minor league system ever since.
The A's drafted Rivera in the 10th round of the 2021 MLB Draft, and since he hasn't yet appeared in the big leagues, he'll be eligible for Rule 5 Draft selection this winter.
