Report: Red Sox interested in veteran utility man

Kluber, 34, only pitched one inning with the Texas Rangers in 2020 before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. The three-time All-Star threw a bullpen session in front of 25 teams on Wednesday, including the Red Sox, and impressed the scouts in attendance.
