Red Sox release veteran right-hander Adam Ottavino
Right-handed reliever Adam Ottavino has been released by the Boston Red SoxMARCH 23 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Granted release by Boston The Red Sox have released Ottavino after he triggered his opt-out clause, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Ottavino was informed Saturday that he wasn't going to make the Opening Day roster, and he subsequently opted out of his minor-league deal. The righty reliever struggled somewhat with a 4.24 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 56 regular-season innings with the Mets last year, but he did manage to pick up 15 holds and a save while posting an 11.2 K/9, so it seems likely that he'll get a look from another organization in need of a veteran bullpen arm.

Reliever Adam Ottavino agrees to minor league contract with Red Sox
Right-handed reliever Adam Ottavino has agreed to a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox and will report to big league spring trainingFEBRUARY 18 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Back to Boston as NRI The Red Sox signed Ottavino to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact Ottavino pitched for the Red Sox in 2021 prior to spending the last three seasons with the Mets. The veteran reliever held a 4.34 ERA and 70:23 K:BB over 56 innings for New York in 2024 and did not pitch for them in the playoffs. Ottavino can still get right-handed batters out (.536 OPS in 2024) and miss bats (28.6 percent strikeout rate), giving the 39-year-old a decent chance to crack Boston's Opening Day roster.

Left off NLCS roster Ottavino is not part of New York's roster for the National League Championship series against the Dodgers.
Impact Ottavino had a rough regular season by his standards, posting a 4.34 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 60 appearances. He saw few high-leverage opportunities in the second half of the campaign and notched just one hold over his final 20 games. Ottavino's omission from the NLCS roster makes room for the return of Jeff McNeil (wrist), who was added to the roster after ending the regular season on the injured list.
