"If triggered, an upward mobility clause would push the Sox to make Kahnle available to all 29 other clubs. If any other club would put him on its major league roster, the Red Sox would either have to select Kahnle to their own 40-man roster or allow him to depart to an organization that would put him in the major league bullpen."
"Through the season's first month, Kahnle has done a nice job trying to force Boston's hand. The 36-year-old has pitched 8 1/3 innings out of the Worcester bullpen, allowing three earned runs (3.24 ERA) on eight hits and three walks."
"Kahnle is perhaps the foremost changeup specialist in the game. This season's 59.5% usage rate on his changeup is actually a stark decrease relative to recent seasons. From 2022-25, Kahnle threw 79% changeups against just 18.7% fastballs."
Tommy Kahnle, a veteran right-hander with the Red Sox' Triple-A affiliate, has an upward mobility clause in his contract. If triggered, this clause would make him available to all 29 MLB teams. Kahnle has performed well in the minors, pitching 8 1/3 innings with a 3.24 ERA. His average fastball velocity is 92.7 mph, the lowest of his career, but he is known for his changeup, which he has used 59.5% of the time this season. Kahnle's performance may influence the Red Sox's decision regarding his future.
