And NBC Sports Boston&#8217;s Justin Leger asserted that he&#8217;s among the best free agency fits still available for the Boston Red Sox in a\u00a0<a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_phpvtw\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsportsboston.com\/mlb\/boston-red-sox\/best-fits-free-agents-2025\/679766\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"PR\" data-uw-original-href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsportsboston.com\/mlb\/boston-red-sox\/best-fits-free-agents-2025\/679766\/\" aria-label=\"January 8 article - open in a new tab\" data-uw-rm-ext-link=\"\">January 8 article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_5wdp4ifvr\">&#8220;Another elite reliever getting up there in age, Robertson showed little signs of wearing down last year with the Rangers,&#8221; Leger wrote. &#8220;The soon-to-be 40-year-old had a 3.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 99 strikeouts across 72 innings. If the younger arms are off the board, the Red Sox should at least consider bringing Robertson in on a one-year deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_xfkvg8id9\">Yankees fans would surely prefer that Robertson signs elsewhere than the dreaded Red Sox. But what seems certain is that regardless of where Robertson ends up, he still has enough left in the tank to remain a reliable bullpen asset.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A former fan-favorite New York Yankees reliever could be headed to the dark side this winter.
