Red Sox still need to add more pitching before trade deadline

The 2019 MLB trade deadline falls on July 31, giving the Boston Red Sox just over two weeks to make a few more changes. It’s been clear for m-o-n-t-h-s that the major area of weakness for the Sox is in the pitching.

The bullpen was an area of concern during last season. Remove Craig Kimbrel and Joe Kelly from the bullpen and automatically you’re left with a few big holes. Both decisions I’m still fairly bitter over (time has not yet healed the frustrated wounds for this fan).

The Red Sox have taken a few risks this season.
