 The Boston Red Sox have bolstered their pitching depth by signing right-handed pitcher Austin Adams to a minor league contract, as reported by KPRC’s Ari Alexander. Adams will also receive an invitation to the Red Sox's Major League spring training camp. His contract includes over $1.5 million in bonuses based on his appearances at the MLB level.
If Adams earns these bonuses, his salary will be close to the $1.7 million projected for his arbitration salary in 2025. The Oakland Athletics outrighted him at the season’s end, effectively making it an early non-tender decision. While $1.7 million is not a significant amount for many teams, the Athletics were cautious given Adams' high 12% walk rate, despite his 3.92 ERA and 27.7% strikeout rate over 41 1/3 innings out of their bullpen. Adams, 33, has shown a knack for strikeouts across his career but has struggled with control issues.
