The Boston Red Sox may not have spent a ton of money this offseason, but they’ve brought in a few players to help the current roster, and over the last week, they’ve added more young talent to help in the future.
In recent days, the Red Sox have agreed to terms with/signed a quartet of international free agents, including Dorian Soto, Harold Rivas, Hector Ramos and Sadbiel Delzine. All four good be impact players in the majors someday.
On Wednesday, Baseball America’s Ben Badler put together a list of five teams that have exciting international signing classes in 2025, and Boston made the cut.
“Teams and scouts all have different philosophies, but whatever you’re looking for, the Red Sox have it in their 2025 class,” Badler wrote. “Dominican shortstop Dorian Soto is a 6-foot-3 switch-hitter with ferocious bat speed and power potential. Venezuelan center fielder Harold Rivas is a dynamic, tooled-up athlete in center field who could be a plus defender there and has a chance to hit for power, as well. Dominican shortstop Hector Ramos is a potential breakout prospect with his ability to handle the position and perform well in games offensively with a high contact rate. Sadbiel Delzine is a 6-foor-5 righthander from Venezuela with a power arm up to 94 mph with more in the tank, good athleticism and coordination on the mound.”
As Badler notes, the Red Sox big three of Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell get the most love and attention in the system, there are plenty of intriguing prospects in the lower levels of the minors who could be building blocks for Boston for the next decade.
