Aroldis Chapman will be the Red Sox’ primary closer this season, according to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe.
The Red Sox signed the left-handed flamethrower to a one-year deal back in December.
“I think he brings something that was sorely missed in our 2024 bullpen, the ability to generate swings and misses [with an] electrically dominant fastball, particularly from the left side,” said Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow at the time of the signing.
At age 36, he is still capable of reaching triple digits on the radar gun.
