There’s a great distance between the Red Sox and obtaining Holland’s services, but the journey may prove to be an interesting one. Just ask Rob Bradford of WEEI.com, who made comments about Boston looking into Holland’s availability: “It makes some sense. With bullpens evolving like they are – as was evidenced by the [Cleveland] Indians’ regular season and postseason use of Andrew Miller – the notion of the Red Sox at least kicking the tires on Greg Holland is understandable.”
Bradford also reported that “Red Sox representatives are planning on attending Monday’s showcase for the former [Kansas City] Royals closer.
