While every team is looking for bullpen help pretty much at all times, there are different levels of need, and this is not a great offseason to be particularly in need of relief help. The Boston Red Sox seem to be in that position, especially if they plan on having Garrett Whitlock focus on staying stretched out as a starter. The free agent market doesn’t have a whole lot of options, with pitchers like Ryan Tepera and Collin McHugh figuring among the top potential options. Given this relative lack of proven talent, front offices will need to identify players they can try and squeeze some extra value from, and Ian Kennedy could have that potential.
