We’ve been talking a whole lot about the bullpen of late here at OTM, in part because there is quite literally nothing going on and it’s something to talk about, but also because it is a relatively unclear part of the Boston Red Sox roster. We assume there are going to be some additions from outside the organization to shore up the group, but there is enough uncertainty that the team will need to get some help from internal options as well.
That absolutely includes improvements from guys like Matt Barnes who have plenty of big-league experience, but it also includes a growing crop of solid depth the organization has built in the high minors.
