| 8/18/25 | Red Sox Cutting Ties With 28-Year-Old Catcher In Roster Shakeup: Report. The Boston Red Sox are refreshing their roster on Monday, and they've already decided one name on the way out the door. It made sense for the Red Sox to claim Ali Sanchez off waivers for the Toronto Blue Jays -- when Carlos Narvaez's health status was up in the air. When Narvaez returned for the start of last week's series with the Houston Astros, Sanchez was a third-stringer at a position that almost never has room for more than two nowadays. With the signing of first baseman Nathaniel Lowe and infielder Nate Eaton expected to be called up from Triple-A Worcester, the Red Sox needed to open two roster spots on Monday.
