The Red Sox traded one of their young pitchers to further bolster their bullpen.
Anthony Ranaudo was sent to the Texas Rangers in exchange for relief pitcher
Robbie Ross. Ross had a miserable 2014 (6.20 ERA, 103 hits in 78.1 innings), but was pretty good in both 2013 (3.03) and 2012 (2.22). So, Boston has added yet another lefty to the 'pen, seemingly setting up a Spring Training free-for-all to determine which port-siders survive into the regular season. Good move by
Ben Cherington.
