The Boston Red Sox, desperate for experienced relief help, acquired Cincinnati Reds veteran reliever Lucas Sims on Monday. In return, Cincinnati received Ovis Porter, a minor league pitcher who has reached High-A this year.
For a lot of this season, Chris Martin and Justin Slaten have served to set up closer Kenley Jansen, but both right-handers landed on the injured list. Since the All-Star break, the Red Sox bullpen has been heavily used -- through series against the Dodgers, in Colorado and against the Yankees.
