The Red Sox were shopping the veteran closer all offseason and the Phillies were routinely linked as a possible suitor with Craig Kimbrel departing in free agency.Jansen is just two years removed from being the National League saves leader and was selected to another All-Star Game in 2023. The prospect of Jansen becoming available all depends on how Boston performs over the next month-and-a-half.
