The Red Sox bullpen is still a work in progress as they head into the upcoming season. Manager Alex Cora and chief baseball officer Craig Breslow hinted that Garrett Whitlock is likely to be a key part of the bullpen mix in 2025, as a high-leverage, multi-inning reliever. Whitlock, who has shown success as both a reliever and a starter, is expected to be part of a group that will include Liam Hendriks, Justin Slaten, and recently signed Aroldis Chapman. The team is still uncertain about the closer role, with Hendriks being a candidate but having missed the last season due to injury. Cora emphasized that it’s too early to talk about the ninth inning role, and they will continue to evaluate their options as the offseason progresses. Breslow also mentioned the potential for additional relief additions to strengthen the bullpen. The Red Sox are looking to add more swing-and-miss pitchers to the mix as they prepare for the upcoming season.
