After up‑and‑down Tigers Stint, Veteran Reliever Lands with Red Sox
The 36-year-old veteran reliever brings 11 major league seasons experience and recent international play, with a $1.5 million salary potential if added to Boston's major league roster.
- On Tuesday, the Boston Red Sox reached agreement on a minor-league contract with Tommy Kahnle that includes a spring-training invitation, first reported by Jon Heyman and the New York Post with an anonymous source.
- After going unsigned through much of spring training, Tommy Kahnle trained for the World Baseball Classic and pitched two scoreless innings for Team Israel on March 8, 2026.
- The 36-year-old has an 11-season career, a 3.61 ERA, 17 saves, and 456 relief appearances; last year he was 1-5 with a 4.43 ERA for the Detroit Tigers.
- Kahnle would make $1.5 million if added to the 40-man roster and compete for one of four open bullpen spots alongside recent signing Danny Coulombe, left-handed reliever.
- Looking ahead, Kahnle's 2025 metrics, including a.370 opponents' slugging percentage and high exit-velocity percentiles, suggest upside despite recent volatility.
