Dave Dombrowski’s first offseason with the Red Sox continues to gain steam. On Monday, Dombrowski dealt lefty Wade Miley to the Mariners for a pair of promising young arms in righty Carson Smith and lefty Roenis Elias.
Smith, 26, was one of the top setup relievers last season. In 70 games, he posted a 2.31 ERA while striking out 92 over 70 innings and holding opponents to a .194 average.
