Boston Adds Meyer After Successful Waiver Claim

The league office confirmed today that Boston's waiver claim of right-hander Max Meyer from the Miami Marlins has been approved, officially adding the former first-round pick to its pitching depth.

Meyer, who had been designated for assignment by Miami earlier this week, now reports to his new club immediately. The move brings in a talented arm with upside, as Meyer has shown flashes of frontline potential when healthy, including a lively fastball and a sharp slider that once made him one of baseball’s more intriguing young pitchers.

Team officials expressed optimism that a fresh start could help Meyer regain form and contribute in meaningful ways moving forward. For now, he’ll join the organization as it evaluates where he best fits—whether as rotation depth, bullpen support, or a developmental project with long-term potential. The hope is that Meyer has put his lengthy injury history behind him.
