Dermody has made just two appearances in the majors since the 2017 season. He finished the 2022 season in Korea where he compiled a 4.54 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and 37 strikeouts over 39.2 innings of work with the NC Dinos of the Korea Baseball Organization. 

For his major-league career, the thirty-two-year-old holds a 5.60 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and 22 strikeouts over 27.1 innings of work. He's spent time with the Toronto Blue Jays and the Chicago Cubs.

Dermody will compete for a spot in the Red Sox' Opening Day bullpen.
