FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Among a deep crew of righty relievers for the Red Sox, the big question entering camp is who among them will emerge into elite closer Craig Kimbrel's primary setup man.
Addison Reed was brought on to do that job at the non-waiver Trade Deadline last season, but he departed as a free agent and signed with the Twins.
President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski didn't replace Reed because he believes someone will emerge from the internal candidates, who include Carson Smith, Joe Kelly and Matt Barnes.
