The Red Sox said they wanted to sign a starting pitcher who is a leader in the clubhouse and someone they could trust on the mound in a playoff game.
They got their man, albeit one who is in the final stretch of his career.
Corey Kluber, the 37-year-old who won a pair of Cy Young Awards with Cleveland in 2014 and ‘17, is in an agreement with the Red Sox on a one-year deal worth $10 million with a team option for 2024, according to ESPN.
