Spring Training is here, but that doesn't mean that the Boston Red Sox are done looking for ways to improve the club.
After months of rumors, the Red Sox plugged their hole in the infield by acquiring 25-year-old Caleb Durbin from the Milwaukee Brewers. With all of the work the Red Sox have done this offseason, you'd think the Durbin deal would be the last big one before Opening Day. While this is the case, chief baseball officer Craig Breslow noted that Boston will "continue to look" at ways to improve the club, specifically in the bullpen, as shared on X by Tim Healey of The Boston Globe.
"Craig Breslow said the Red Sox will 'continue to look' at bullpen additions," Healey wrote on X. "But he mentioned the bullpen as a potential destination for surplus starting pitchers."
For all of the work the Red Sox have done this offseason, the bullpen has been addressed the least. Boston has added infielders in Durbin, Willson Contreras, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The Red Sox have added starting pitchers left and right, including Sonny Gray, Johan Oviedo, and Ranger Suárez. The bullpen is the one area that hasn't gotten a lot of work this offseason, but it sounds like Boston isn't done.
