Some big news came out later Monday night as we learned at least part of the team’s strategy to improve the bullpen for the rest of the year. Tom Caron of NESN dropped the report that Nathan Eovaldi will be shifted to the bullpen and will serve as the team’s closer upon his return from the injured list.
It’s not hard to see the reasoning behind this. The Red Sox have obviously had massive problems in their bullpen of late, which everyone expected coming into the year. It’s clear they need help there and everyone is waiting for them to make a trade.
