Who says you can’t add pitching in August anymore? The trade deadline is long gone but pitching can still be found this late in the season on the free agent market. The Boston Red Sox will leave no stone unturned as they seek a viable fifth starter to solidify their rotation.
That has them kicking the tires on right-handed pitcher Jhoulys Chacin, who was recently released by the Milwaukee Brewers. According to Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald, Chacin threw a bullpen session for the Red Sox in Anaheim prior to their game against the Angels.
