The Red Sox kept adding to their pipeline after the 2026 MLB Draft, landing another arm on Monday in Carson Revay.
Revay, a 6-foot-4 left-hander out of Pacific University, was announced by the program as heading to Boston. The move comes after the Red Sox worked through all 20 rounds of the draft over the weekend and still found room for another pitcher they wanted.
Revay’s path to this point started at Bear Creek High School in California, then took him to Fresno State as a freshman before he transferred to Pacific without appearing in a game there. Once he got to the Tigers, he made his presence felt quickly.
In 2025, he struck out a batter per inning in his first season with Pacific. He followed that with a strong 2026 campaign, posting a 4.01 ERA and striking out 56 hitters in 42.2 innings.
Boston is getting a reliever who finished games for Pacific. Revay worked as the Tigers’ closer and collected nine saves, which ranked second in a single season in program history. That total also tied him for second in the West Coast Conference.
He wasn’t limited to one-inning bursts, either. On May 2 against Loyola Marymount, Revay went 4.0 innings and struck out eight, showing he could stretch out if needed.
The strikeouts came with some control, too. Revay issued 16 walks in 42.2 innings, a workable number for a power reliever with swing-and-miss stuff.
For the Red Sox, it’s another low-risk swing on a lefty with a live arm, some bullpen flexibility and enough strikeout ability to make the look worthwhile.

Red Sox Suddenly Have A Bigger Connelly Early Concern Than Expected
Connelly Early has been on the Red Soxs 15-day injured list since July 1 because of inflammation in his throwing elbow, and the latest checkup at least offered some relief on one front. The follow-up appointment did not point to a structural issue, which is the kind of news Boston needed after a young pitcher goes down with arm discomfort so early in his big-league run.
Still, the bigger concern now is the waiting. Early is not on any clear path back to throwing because the discomfort has not eased, leaving the Red Sox without a timetable and without much certainty about how quickly they can get him moving again. For a club that has already had to juggle pitching depth, every stalled rehab update carries a little more weight than it should. [Read more 🡒]
Red Sox Suddenly Have A Chance To Make A Franchise-Changing Move
The Red Sox reached the midseason break with a 46-48 record and a nine-game winning streak, which has nudged them back into the neighborhood of a playoff spot and made the coming weeks feel a little more consequential than they did a month ago. In that kind of position, Boston has reason to keep an eye on the market, especially for a right-handed bat that could lengthen the lineup and give the club a more dangerous look if it decides to push in.
Francisco Lindor has naturally surfaced in that conversation because of the kind of player he is and the fit he would represent for a team trying to make a real move. The wrinkle is that his situation in New York remains murky enough that it is hard to know how realistic any pursuit might be, and Lindor did not get into the question when asked about his trade veto power this summer. For Boston, the appeal is obvious, but the path to getting there is still very much unsettled. [Read more 🡒]
A 2004 Red Sox Champions Legacy Just Resurfaced In A Big Way
A familiar Red Sox name is back in the baseball conversation after Luke Nixon was taken by the San Francisco Giants in the fifth round of the 2026 MLB Draft at No. 150 overall. The NC State infielder built a strong college rsum and gave scouts a steady look at a player who handled second base comfortably, keeping his profile in the infield as he moves into pro ball.
For Boston fans, the draft pick carries an obvious layer of nostalgia because the Nixon name still resonates from the 2004 championship era. Lukes selection does not change anything about that legacy, but it does put another chapter of it into the professional game, with his own path now starting to unfold in a different uniform and a different organization.
