Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom has upgraded his bullpen this offseason after Boston finished 2020 ranked 27th in reliever ERA (5.79), 28th in reliever WHIP (1.64) and 28th in reliever batting average against (.282).
Boston had 23 pitchers and three position players make at least one relief appearance during 2020. Thirteen of the 23 pitchers no longer remain on the 40-man roster.
