You know what they say about assuming, but it seems to be a fairly safe assumption that the Red Sox are looking for bullpen help. The caliber of reliever they are targeting and the number of relievers they could add is up for debate, but it seems likely that any more additions to the major-league roster will come in the bullpen. They’ve been connected to just about every big name in the market, but then reports this week about them being concerned about payroll threw things for a loop. It’s still hard to believe they wouldn’t do anything to boost their bullpen, especially after officially losing Joe Kelly and likely losing Craig Kimbrel at some point soon.
