The Boston Red Sox could use a reliable bullpen arm to help bridge the gap to the ninth inning but they are bargain shopping on a budget. That makes right-handed reliever Steve Cishek an ideal match.
According to Peter Gammons, Cishek would like to sign with Boston. The Falmouth native could be drawn to pitching closer to home as he approaches the later stage of his career.
Gammons cautions that there is some question about whether or not that interest is mutual. It’s not that the Red Sox couldn’t use a pitcher of Cishek’s caliber, it’s the price tag that could be a roadblock.
