Red Sox's Connor Wong: Avoids arbitration with Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox and Connor Wong (hand) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Thursday.Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com says the deal is worth $1.375 million, with an additional $75,000 possible in performance bonuses. It was a disastrous 2025 season for the 29-year-old Wong, as he lost his starting job to Carlos Narvaez and finished with a .500 OPS and zero home runs over 63 regular-season contests. Wong -- who is expected to be recovered from October right hand surgery by spring training -- will be Narvaez's backup at catcher again in 2026.
