It hasn’t taken Chaim Bloom and the Red Sox any time at all to get the ball rolling on their offseason plans. It was reported this afternoon that Boston had claimed lefty reliever Josh Osich off waivers. This looks to be the first step by the front office to add some muscle to the battle-worn bullpen.
Boston is heavy on right-handers in their relief efforts so adding another southpaw into the mix will only be a benefit. Osich is coming off of his fifth season in the majors having spent most of his career with the Giants.
