Red Sox Bet on Jones vs Lefties | Boston Red Sox News
Description
The Red Sox snagged outfielder Jahmai Jones from the Tigers for a player to be named later — a steal considering his brutal 2024 stats. Jones hit just .137 and struggled against lefties, but his 2025 OPS of .970 against southpaws makes him a hidden gem. The Tigers, in playoff mode and needing offense, couldn’t afford his slump — especially with a negative bWAR. While his fastball performance has tanked this year, his expected SLG hints at bad luck, not bad skill. The Sox hope a fresh start and a renewed focus on fastballs (which he’s historically crushed) will revive his game — and they didn’t pay much, trading struggling Nate Eaton.
