Clearly, the Red Sox are still in 'bluff mode' over whether they are willing to spend what's necessary to get a serviceable 2019 bullpen.
Dave Dombrowski has been
uttering unintelligible things like this:
"I don’t really. I mean, I would gather that if we did anything they would be bullpen orientated. That’s where we lost a couple guys. But we do like some of the people we have in our pen, some guys coming back....So that’s the one area where you keep an open mind to. I don’t anticipate a large expenditure there. I think it would be more big league roster invites and see if they could make the club. Of course you keep a pulse on everything taking place and if there’s one area, that would be it." Thanks for clearing that up, DD! OK, so
no large expenditure (translation: forget
Craig Kimbrel?).
Or,
keep a pulse on everything (translation: we don't
want to go over the luxury tax threshold, but we're so close, why not get Kimbrel anyway?) Who knows? Like we said, 'bluff mode'. Stay tuned!
