Cora said Sandoval’s fastball was 94-95 mph and, overall, the left-hander “threw the ball well.” Sandoval missed all of last season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, but he is in contention for the final spot in the Red Sox rotation. Since Sandoval has no minor league options remaining, the Red Sox either need to keep him on their roster or trade him; it’s highly unlikely they would cut someone they signed to a two-year, $18.25 million contract before last season. If he keeps pitching this well in spring, there’s a good chance the 29-year-old will be in somebody’s rotation on Opening Day.

The Red Sox signed Sandoval to a two-year, $18.25 million contract before last season, knowing that he would spend most of last year rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. That financial commitment could give him an inside track to winning the fifth rotation spot, if he’s healthy and effective this spring. However, Sandoval also said that he’s open to pitching out of the bullpen, if that’s what the team wants. The 29-year-old could also attract some interest on the trade market if he looks good this spring.

Sandoval expressed optimism back in spring training that he would make it back from last year’s internal brace procedure before the conclusion of the 2025 season, but he appears to have run out of time after suffering some setbacks during his rehabilitation process. The 28-year-old southpaw inked a two-year deal with the Red Sox during the offseason and should factor into their rotation plans next spring.
