Red Sox Cut Ties With Former Top Pick
26 Mar
Summary
- Brendan Rodgers was released by the Red Sox before Opening Day.
- He was originally the third overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft.
- A shoulder injury requiring surgery preceded his release.

Brendan Rodgers, once the third overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, has been released by the Boston Red Sox. This decision comes just before Opening Day, ending his brief stint with the team.
Rodgers was at the Red Sox's spring training camp as a non-roster invitee. However, a right shoulder injury sustained earlier this month required surgery, leading to his release. His professional career, which includes a Gold Glove in 2022, has seen ups and downs since his high draft selection by the Colorado Rockies.
