The Boston Red Sox have already made some noise before the trade deadline, but they still need to supply their bullpen with help.
The Red Sox need at least one more quality reliever if they have their sights set on fall baseball. Conveniently for Boston’s chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, the market for relievers is expanding as the deadline rapidly approaches.“Rival GMs believe the Giants will sell, and besides their big three free-agent pickups, will shop players like reliever Taylor Rogers, starter Alex Cobb, outfielders Michael Conforto and Mike Yastrzemski, and infielder Wilmer Flores,” Nightengale said.
Rogers, 33, was an All-Star in 2021 with the Minnesota Twins. He has a 1-3 record this year with the Giants to go along with a 2.27 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 39 2/3 innings pitched. Rogers would supply the Red Sox clubhouse with experience and Boston’s pen would benefit from the acquisition of a left-hander.
If he hasn’t already, Breslow should give Giants general manager Pete Putila a call and inquire about the price for Rogers.Colin Keane is a contributing journalist for "Boston Red Sox On SI."
