MLB insider floats potential return if Red Sox trade Kenley Jansen

If the Red Sox want to shed more payroll before signing free agents, Kenley Jansen might be a good option for them to do so. The veteran closer earned 29 saves last season and was named an All-Star. But what kind of haul could Boston’s pitcher actually get?

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal joined MassLive’s Chris Cotillo on the “Fenway Rundown” podcast and discussed what the Red Sox could realistically expect if they were to trade away the 36-year-old.

“I would imagine you get a mid-level prospect for Kenley Jansen because, keep in mind, the team is taking on 16 million. That gets him. That’s his salary. Now granted at the Red Sox pay half, they get a better prospect. We know how that works,” Rosenthal said. “But I don’t know that he’s bringing it two or three guys. Granted, it’s a one-year deal, he’s a high-performing guy, someone you can basically count on. But I don’t expect it to be a massive kind of haul. I’d expect to get something decent, but nothing that you’re going to say a top 100 guy for Kenley Jansen. I don’t expect that to happen.”

There are a few clubs that make sense for Jansen, including a reunion with his former Los Angeles Dodgers team, the Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers, Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Angels and New York Mets.

But whether the Red Sox make another move remains to be seen. It’s been a slow offseason of sorts for Boston. It signed Lucas Giolito and traded Chris Sale, but the organization could use some extra help in the rotation. Rosenthal said he was “surprised” to hear that when he reaches out to players, he never hears the Red Sox mentioned as a team that’s interested.

It will be interesting to see what the Red Sox ultimately decide to do, especially if they want to shed payroll.
