Longtime Kansas City Royals pitcher Brad Keller got cut loose by the Chicago White Sox last week, but he has found a new landing spot with the Boston Red Sox.

After going 21-23 with a 3.50 ERA and 1.285 WHIP between 2018 and 2020, Keller went 17-30 with a 5.14 ERA and 1.629 WHIP from 2021 to 2023.
In five appearances with the White Sox – two of which were starts – Keller went 0-2 with a 4.86 ERA and 1.380 WHIP.
