The Boston Red Sox have dominated the trade market in the first months of the offseason, making pitching moves big and small. Among those moves, the Red Sox traded three relievers in one day to open roster spots for Rule 5 Draft-eligible players.
Two of the three pitchers the Sox traded were lefties, and fellow southpaws Justin Wilson and Steven Matz entered free agency this winter. Boston has a surplus of young starting pitching depth in its organization, but it will have to look to the free agent and trade markets to add experience to its bullpen.
