The Boston Globe’s Nick Cafardo reports that a few teams contacted the Red Sox about Franklin Morales over the offseason.
Cafardo adds that additional clubs “have him on their list of pitchers to watch closely in spring training.” Morales is slated for long relief with the Red Sox this season, but other teams could view him as a rotation candidate. He made nine starts for Boston last season, posting a 4.14 ERA and 1.25 WHIP while striking out over a batter per inning.
