The Boston Red Sox agreed to a two-year, $18.2 million deal with free agent, left-handed pitcher Patrick Sandoval.

Sandoval, 28, went 2-9 with a 5.08 ERA over 16 starts last season for the Los Angeles Angels. His season then ended when he needed surgery to replace elbow ligaments.
He was 19-45 with a 4.01 ERA over the first 107 appearances of his career. Sandoval went 6-9 with a career-best 2.91 ERA over 27 starts in 2022 for the Angels.
He joined the Angels through a 2018 trade from the Houston Astros. The Astros selected Sandoval in the 11th round of the 2015 MLB Draft.
