The Red Sox are in a bit of a strange place with their bullpen, the portion of their roster that is understandably generating the most discussion at this point in the offseason. Most (all?) agree that this is the last remaining area where Boston needs any sort of significant help, obviously excluding possible minor-league depth signings at other positions. The Red Sox aren’t just looking for depth in the bullpen. They are likely to look at or near the top of the market for help. It’s looking more and more like they are probably out on Craig Kimbrel — I’m still not entirely sure I buy it, but that’s a conversation for another day — but other names among the top of the market like Adam Ottavino and David Robertson have been connected to Boston.
The Red Sox could have a midlevel pitching logjam
