Can We Get a #3 Hitter?

Much of the attention this offseason has been paid to the pitching staff.

Bradfo's Rant: Be Wary Of Hoping For A Kenley Jansen Trade

Bradfo jumps aboard the Play Tessie Express for the first of his weekly rant on the Red Sox, with this week's involving the idea of moving on from closer Kenley Jansen. For a team that is desperate to find some certainty on its roster, opening up a spot on the team - the closer role - once again is a dangerous proposition. Bradfo points out that this was part of the 2023 roster Chaim Bloom got right, so Craig Breslow shouldn't be so quick to forget that lesson.
