Offseason

The team's 2021 season ended with a loss on October 22 in the American League Championship Series to the Houston Astros.

October 2021

• On October 25, the team announced the dismissal of first base coach Tom Goodwin.
• On October 30, longtime Red Sox color commentator Jerry Remy died at age 68.

November 2021

• On November 1, it was reported that hitting coach Tim Hyers declined the team's offer for 2022 and would not continue in his role.
• On November 3, five players elected to become free agents: Adam Ottavino, Hansel Robles, Eduardo Rodríguez, Danny Santana, and Travis Shaw.
• On November 4, Kyle Schwarber declined his side of a mutual option for 2022 and became a free agent.
• On November 5, the team claimed outfielder Tim Locastro off of waivers from the New York Yankees.
• On November 7, the team declined to exercise their 2022 options on Martín Pérez and Garrett Richards, making them free agents. The same day, the team did exercise its option on Christian Vázquez, and J. D. Martinez chose not to exercise his opt-out clause; both remain under contract with the team for the 2022 season. The team also issued a qualifying offer ($18.4 million for one year) to Eduardo Rodríguez, starting a 10-day window within which he could accept that offer, reach other contract terms with the team, or remain a free agent.
• On November 14, it was reported that Rodríguez declined the qualifying offer. He subsequently signed with the Detroit Tigers.
• On November 19, in advance of the Rule 5 draft, the Red Sox added four players their 40-man roster: infielder Jeter Downs and pitchers Brayan Bello, Kutter Crawford, and Josh Winckowski.
• On November 22, the ballot for the National Baseball Hall of Fame class of 2022 was announced. Multiple players who were with the Red Sox during their MLB careers were included: Curt Schilling (10th ballot, with Red Sox 2004–2007), Roger Clemens (10th, 1984–1996), Billy Wagner (7th, 2009), Manny Ramirez (6th, 2001–2008), Carl Crawford (1st, 2011–2012), David Ortiz (1st, 2003–2016), Jonathan Papelbon (1st, 2005–2011), Jake Peavy (1st, 2013–2014), and A. J. Pierzynski (1st, 2014).
• On November 27, the team signed pitcher Michael Wacha to a one-year contract, reportedly worth $7 million.
