Roniel Antonio Raudes Meza (born January 16, 1998) is a Nicaraguan professional baseball pitcher who plays in the Boston Red Sox Minor League Baseball system. Listed at 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) and 160 pounds (73 kg), he bats and throws right-handed.[130]

The Red Sox selected Raudes in the 2014 MLB International Draft, signing him a bonus of $250,000.[130] Raudes throws an 89–91 mph (143–146 km/h) fastball with a maximum speed of 93 mph (150 km/h). According to Red Sox scouts, he should throw harder once he adds some muscle to his skinny frame and physically matures without losing much athleticism.[131] He also has a pair of promising secondary pitches, with his downer curveball at 74–76 mph (119–122 km/h) presently ranking ahead of his fading 82–84 mph (132–135 km/h) changeup.[130] Raudes has been known to use an unorthodox pitching delivery motion.[132]

Aside from Anderson Espinoza, Raudes had the best season of any Red Sox minor league pitcher in 2015. Only 17 years old, Raudes led the rookie-level Dominican Summer League with a very significant strikeout-to-walk ratio (63-to-3) in 53+23 innings, which he concluded with a 3–0 record in four rookie-level Gulf Coast League starts, while allowing two earned runs for a 0.90 ERA in 20 innings.

He finished third in wins in the Red Sox minor league system while posting the sixth-best ERA among starters.[136] At 18, Raudes showed consistency in Greenville as the youngest pitcher in the league, as he had a chance to emerge as a mid-rotation starter as he matures physically and mentally.[137]

Raudes spent 2017 with the Class A-Advanced Salem Red Sox, where he pitched to a 4–7 record and 4.50 ERA in 23 games started.[138] He finished the year rated as the Red Sox' number 12 prospect, according to MLB.com.[139] Raudes also spent the 2018 season with Salem, recording a 2–5 record in 11 games (all starts) with a 3.67 ERA; he spent approximately four months on the disabled list.[138] Raudes underwent Tommy John surgery in January 2019,[130] and did not pitch during the 2019 season.[138] Late in 2020, after the minor league season was cancelled, Raudes played briefly in the Nicaraguan Professional Baseball League, but left his team due to an unspecified health issue.[140] Raudes was assigned to the Florida Complex League Red Sox in July 2021, but was subsequently placed on the restricted list without having appeared in a game.[138]

Bats: Right
Throws: Right

Joshua Winckowski (born June 28, 1998) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Boston Red Sox organization of Major League Baseball (MLB). Listed at 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and 202 pounds (92 kg), he throws and bats right-handed.

Winckowski attended Estero High School in Estero, Florida.[153] The Toronto Blue Jays selected him in the 15th round of the 2016 MLB draft.[153][154] Winckowski played in the Blue Jays' farm system from 2016 through 2019, reaching the Class A-Advanced level with the Dunedin Blue Jays.[155] In four seasons with the Toronto organization, Winckowski made 54 appearances (50 starts), compiling an 18–17 win–loss record with a 3.35 earned run average (ERA).[155]

On January 27, 2021, Winckowski was traded to the New York Mets alongside Yennsy Díaz and Sean Reid-Foley in exchange for Steven Matz.[156] On February 10, 2021, Winckowski was traded to the Boston Red Sox with Franchy Cordero and three players to be named later in a three-team trade, where the Kansas City Royals acquired Andrew Benintendi and the Mets received Khalil Lee.[157] Winckowski began the 2021 season in Double-A with the Portland Sea Dogs and was promoted late in the season to the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox.[155] Overall with both teams, he appeared in 23 games (22 starts), compiling a 3.94 ERA and 9–4 record while striking out 101 batters in 112 innings.[155] After the regular season, Winckowski was selected to play in the Arizona Fall League.[36] On November 19, in advance of the Rule 5 draft, the Red Sox added Winckowski to their 40-man roster.[158]

Full Triple-A to Rookie League rosters[]

As part of Major League Baseball's restructuring of Minor League Baseball prior to the 2021 season, the Red Sox dropped the Lowell Spinners, a Class A Short Season team, as an affiliate.[159] Per that restructuring, Class A-Advanced became known as "High-A", and Class A as "Low-A".[160]
