He’s Zack Littell, and at this point, he fits into the category of maybe the only thing Chaim Bloom brings to the Red Sox organization more than relief arms: guys with red/reddish beards. He is also, you guessed it, a depth relief arm. He was acquired from the Texas Rangers organization on Friday afternoon for cash considerations... which isn’t free, of course, but seeing as we didn’t give up any precious depth to acquire him, it sure feels like we got him for free, doesn’t it? He’s spent parts of the last five seasons in the Major Leagues for Minnesota and San Francisco, notably notching 61 2⁄3 innings across 63 appearances for the Giants in 2021, where he finished second on the team’s bullpen in strikeouts, with 63.
