We have less than a week to go before Opening Day and the Boston Red Sox still haven’t sorted out their bullpen.
Manager Alex Cora told reporters at JetBlue Park on Thursday that there are three spots up for grabs in the bullpen as the team finalizes its roster for the season opener in Seattle on March 28.
With the Red Sox expected to carry eight relievers, we can surmise that Cora has five names in mind who he considers locks to make the roster. While the manager hasn’t revealed which five, we have a pretty good idea of who those handful of relievers are.
