The Boston Red Sox had a busy Rule 5 Draft back in December, losing a few prospects but gaining quite a few back. One of the prospects they brought in is left-handed pitcher Caden Vire.
Vire probably seems like an inconsequential addition to plenty of fans. Coming out of high school in the 2021 MLB Draft, he was selected in the 12th round by the Milwaukee Brewers.
Injuries have been an issue for Vire. He’s thrown just 27 2/3 innings since being drafted. Only 3 2/3 of those innings came above Rookie Ball (all came this season in Single-A).
