The Red Sox announced this morning that they have
optioned left-handed pitcher Roenis Elias to AAA Pawtucket. For a while, Elias was in contention (with
Steven Wright) for the fifth starter slot. Despite losing that, it was thought that he would be used in middle relief. Elias (who had a 10.45 ERA this Spring) came over to
The Carmine Hose (along with
Carson Smith) in the deal that sent
Wade Miley and
Jonathan Aro to the gorgeous confines of
Safeco Field. Stay tuned for the inevitable implications this move will have on the structure of the Red Sox bullpen going forward.
