10/04/24 Blockbuster Trade Idea Would Land Kenley Jansen Replacement With Red Sox. The Boston Red Sox have had stability from the back of the bullpen over the last two years. Boston's bullpen didn't have overall success in 2024, but star closer Kenley Jansen unsurprisingly impressed. Jansen appeared in 54 games with Boston and had a 3.29 ERA and 27 saves. The Red Sox were struggling in the closer role, and Jansen filled it well over the last two years.

10/01/24 Kenley Jansen responds to drama about leaving Red Sox before 2024 season ended. The Boston Red Sox missed the playoffs for the third consecutive time this season, but that doesn't mean the end of their season was boring. Clubhouse conflict took center stage after Boston's postseason elimination. Kenley Jansen departed from Fenway Park before the team's second-to-last game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, Sept. 28. The closer's season ended early after he was moved to the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation on Sept. 23.

9/22/24 Red Sox shutting down star closer whose time in Boston might be over. Barring a surprise, Kenley Jansen's second — and potentially final — season in a Red Sox uniform is over. Hours after Jansen insinuated that his scoreless ninth inning in Boston's Game 1 win over the Twins to begin Sunday's doubleheader was his last appearance of 2024, manager Alex Cora confirmed that Jansen is expected to be shut down for the final week of the regular season. The Red Sox are expected to place him on the injured list before Monday's series opener in Toronto; it's unknown who will take his place on the active roster. “There's a good chance Kenley goes on the IL,” Cora said after a Game 2 win over Minnesota.

9/21/24 Red Sox Must Closely Monitor Former No. 9 Overall Pick In Free Agency. The Boston Red Sox won't change their fortunes in 2025 unless they remodel their bullpen. Kenley Jansen is reportedly on his way out of Boston, which means Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow will be tasked with acquiring some bona fide late-inning relief talent (as if that wasn't already a priority). Tanner Scott promises to be at the top of Breslow's free agent wish list, but Jeff Hoffman of the Philadelphia Phillies should be there, too.

9/17/24 Red Sox Star Projected To Receive $72 Million Making Things Difficult. The Boston Red Sox will have some talented players hit free agency this winter. Boston has had an up-and-down 2024 season. While this is the case, the Red Sox have gotten plenty of consistency from star closer Kenley Jansen. Jansen has shined for Boston and has a 3.48 ERA and 26 saves in 51 appearances.

9/15/24 Dodgers Are Threat To Sign Red Sox $32 Million Star, Per Insider. When free agency kicks off, some members of the Boston Red Sox could end up going in a different direction. Boston has a bright future but hasn't been able to truly contend over the last few years. The Red Sox hopefully will be looking for ways to change that fact this winter, but there also could be a roster crunch. The most interesting player to keep an eye on over the next few months is star closer Kenley Jansen.

9/14/24 As Kenley Jansen reflects on 'disappointing' Red Sox time, Yankees loom as threat in free agency. The Red Sox will play their final game at Yankee Stadium this season Sunday afternoon. When they return to the Bronx on June 6, could closer Kenley Jansen be on the other side? According to major league sources, the Yankees made a serious run at Jansen before he signed a two-year, $32 million contract with Boston in Dec. 2022. With mercurial All-Star Clay Holmes heading for free agency after the season, it's more than likely the Yankees look to add a big-time piece at the back end of their relief corps.
