Red Sox Free Agent Target: Right-handed reliever Steve Cishek

The Boston Red Sox bullpen rated in the middle of the pack last season. While that’s not ideal for a team expected to contend, it’s far from the dumpster fire many made them out to be and they showed late-season improvement once they settled upon a clear hierarchy. That being said, they still need an upgrade to bolster the back end of their bullpen and free agency is where they may find it.

We know that the Red Sox are operating under a tight budget but there’s no need for them to splurge on an expensive closer. Brandon Workman thrived in that role when he was finally given the opportunity and should be a capable option to handle the ninth inning.
