The 2021 Red Sox was an undeniable success and one that saw a number of positive developments for the organization as a whole, both in the majors and elsewhere. For this week’s staff roundtable, I tasked staff with selecting what they viewed as the one biggest single development for the season.

For me, the biggest development was the utility relief role. Garrett Whitlock and Tanner Houck were brilliant in relief this season and a big reason why the bullpen was a success. The bullpen was my biggest concern going into the season and it was refreshing to talk about it in a positive light on the Red Seat pod this year.
