The
Boston Red Sox have announced that they have come to terms with 29-year-old RHP
Kyle Snyder on a one year contract, thereby avoiding arbitration. He is expected to compete for a spot in the Boston bullpen. Snyder was acquired by the Red Sox last June via waivers from the
Kansas City Royals. With the Sox he went 4-5 with a 6.02 ERA (10 starts, 16 games). Snyder has no minor league options remaining and so must make the Red Sox out of spring training or risk exposure through the waiver process if he is sent down. Snyder utilizes a fastball, slider, curve, and a changeup. The fastball sits in the low 90s with some sink.
