BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox yesterday agreed to terms with left-handed pitcher Josh Taylor on a one-year contract for the 2023 season, thus avoiding salary arbitration.
Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom made the announcement.
Taylor, 29, was on the injured list for the entire 2022 season. He made eight rehab appearances (four starts) for Triple-A Worcester and five (three starts) for Double-A Portland. The left-hander owns a 3.69 ERA (42 ER/102.1 IP) with 129 strikeouts in 121 career Major League outings (one start), all with Boston from 2019-21.
