Ottavino (4.21 ERA) has had some of the struggles he did in his last season as a Yankee, but he’s also recorded 11 saves to help get the Red Sox to Tuesday. Boston picked up most of the $9 million left on Ottavino’s contract and inserted him into a high-leverage role. Last offseason, the Yankees sent Ottavino and a minor league pitcher to the Red Sox for a player to be named later or cash. The rare salary dump by the Yankees has become another important part of the Red Sox bullpen. Boston put him in the bullpen, where he has become one of its most valuable pieces, posting a 1.96 ERA and 81 strikeouts across 73 ¹/₃ innings. The Yankees then chose not to put him on their 40-man roster last offseason, leaving him unprotected for the Red Sox to scoop him up in the Rule 5 draft. He got to Double-A Trenton as a starter in 2019 before needing Tommy John surgery that year.
Looking more and more like the one who got away throughout this season, the Red Sox rookie reliever was drafted by the Yankees in 2017.

To this day, no other MLB team has come back from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series. Martinez has a long history with Yankees fans, most notably during his Red Sox days, which included Boston’s historic comeback in that same 2004 ALCS. It was a quote that Yankees fans won’t let him live down. “What can I say? Just tip my hat and call the Yankees my daddies,” Martinez said at the time. tDs4BXtdiA- Tyler Milliken ⚾️ OctoPedro Martinez on the TBS postgame show after the Astros’ 6-5 win in Game 4 of the ALCS to complete a four-game sweep of the Yankees on Oct.
