After an offseason of talk mostly centered around starting pitching and a right-handed bat of some sort, the third item on my wish list was finding a closer. There was a big pile of them. Nothing too flashy, but a whole lot of useful pieces who have led their team in saves in recent years: Tanner Scott, Kirby Yates, Jeff Hoffman, Carlos Estevez, Kenley Jansen, Jordan Romano, David Robertson, and Paul Sewald. Clay Holmes went and got starter money with the Mets but the rest was kind of a “take whatever’s still there” and add them to the group that’s already in Boston.
Things we’re terrified of in 2025: Who is going to be the Red Sox closer?
