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.
With Kluber headed to their arch-rival, the Red Sox still desperately need to add starting pitching this offseason. They've been linked to several free agents, including former Tampa Bay Rays and Minnesota Twins right-hander Jake Odorizzi.
