The Red Sox are in the midst of their toughest stretch on the schedule this season, and their play suggests they need help.
Boston’s gone 3-6 in its last three series’ against top AL East rivals (Blue Jays, Rays, and Yankees), and is 4-8 since June 26. Of course, the Red Sox have dealt with a slew of injuries (Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts, Nathan Eovaldi, Garrett Whitlock, Kiké Hernández, and more have missed time during the recent skid), but even when those players come back they’ll still have a couple of areas to fix on the roster.
In an interview with MassLive’s Chris Cotillo, Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom specified he’d like to add arms to the bullpen.
