Red Sox Interested In Anibal Sanchez, Hiroki Kuroda

By Mike Axisa | November 8, 2012 at 2:57pm CDT

2:57pm: Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports reports (on Twitter) that the Red Sox have reached out to Hiroki Kuroda as well. The veteran right-hander is open to signing a one-year deal.

2:17pm: The Red Sox have interest in Anibal Sanchez, reports Michael Silverman of The Boston Herald. The team is also exploring trades for starting pitchers.

GM Ben Cherington was overseeing Boston's international scouting department when the team originally signed Sanchez out of Venezuela in 2001. The 28-year-old right-hander pitched to a 3.86 ERA with 7.7 K/9 and 2.2 BB in 195 2/3 innings split between the Marlins and Tigers this year. Several other clubs have expressed interest in Sanchez as well, according to Silverman.

MLBTR's Tim Dierkes ranked Sanchez as the second best free agent pitcher (behind Zack Greinke) and fourth best free agent overall in his Top 50 Free Agents list.

    Why don’t you just make a list of all they players the Red Sox are “interested in” and call it good instead of writing a different article for each player?

      it would be easier and list the players “they’re not interested in”……same with the Dodgers.

    Interest in Anibal Sanchez and Justin Masterson, and loose rumors about Kevin Youkilis. Homecoming in Boston.

    I really don’t why this site is called Red Sox Trade Rumors because everyday there are articles like this and it’s kind of annoying.

      How is it MLBTR’s fault that there’s new Red Sox news every day? If reporters in San Diego cared about the Padres, there’d be news posts about them, too. Unfortunately, their reporters don’t seem to cover the Padres very often.

        I don’t read the San Diego newspapers so I can’t verify what you’ve said about them, but I do read the LA papers and they run a lot of stuff about the local teams that doesn’t get noticed here. The tilt was worse before the Dodgers became too big to ignore but it seems to be there still. Every so often I beg MLBTR to get somebody on this beat. Still not sure they if have any writers west of the Rockies (literally).

      You aren’t imagining anything. Even small news for the big-market teams gets played here, and it isn’t because they are more newsworthy than any other team.

    At least Boston is expressing interest this time around. Cherington realizes he did an extremely poor job getting this team pitching help last year.

    I think that Sanchez would be the smartest addition to the rotation Ben can make unless they can swing a trade for a legit #2 or Ace like Josh Johnson. I much prefer Sanchez to Haren, Jackson, Kuroda, Liriano, etc. even if one of those guys could be gotten on a 1 year deal. I’d LOVE to have Masterson back but I have to imagine that the asking price will be deemed too much and also Tito will probably be pushing for him to stay put.

    I’ve always advocated getting Kuroda. This would be a good get imo.

    Don’t think Kuroda will go to boston. He wants to compete in playoffs., and while they do have a chance they still are a longshot for postseason play next year.

    No offense to any baseball executives or sportswriters reading this, but you have to be stupid not to be interested in Kuroda and Sanchez.
