Kenley Jansen is no stranger to October baseball.
In fact, the 35-year-old reliever has almost come to expect it at this stage of the baseball calendar.
Entering the 2023 season, Jansen advanced to the postseason 10 straight seasons between the Dodgers and Braves, winning a World Series with Los Angeles in 2020.
That streak is set to come to a close this fall, however, as the 76-81 Red Sox will be on the outside looking at playoff action for the fourth time in the last five years.
Speaking to WEEI’s Rob Bradford on the “Baseball Isn’t Boring” podcast, Jansen — Boston’s lone All-Star representative this season — didn’t hold back from venting his displeasure at how his first year with the Red Sox ended.
