Should the Boston Red Sox keep Matt Barnes as closer?
Matt Barnes is a rather rare item on the Boston Red Sox pitching staff since he is a product of the farm system. Barnes was a first-round selection of the Red Sox (2011), but the Red Sox actually had their eyes on Sonny Gray who was drafted just prior to Barnes by the A’s.
