Just days after signing a minor-league deal with the Red Sox, veteran reliever Hector Rondon retired from the game of baseball earlier this month, per his transaction log at MLB.com.
The Red Sox are in agreement with right-hander Héctor Rondón on a minor-league contract. The veteran reliever had been in Spring Training with the Phillies but was granted his release after failing to crack the Opening Day roster.
As has been well-documented by now, teams are going to be more reliant on their rotation depth than ever before while monitoring workloads in the wake of last year’s shortened season.
