Knizner Opts Out of Red Sox MiLB Deal, Enters Free Agency
The veteran catcher departs Boston after a strong Triple-A stint and will look for a fourth MLB organization in 2026.
Catcher Andrew Knizner has opted out of his minor league contract with the Red Sox, making him a free agent. He posted a 141 wRC+ with more walks than strikeouts in 21 games at Triple-A Worcester. Knizner's path to a Boston roster spot narrowed after the Red Sox acquired Adley Rutschman from Baltimore at the trade deadline. He has drawn consistent interest throughout the season and is expected to find another organization.
