Red Sox notebook: Alex Cora will mix and match set-up men
CLEARWATER, Fla. — If you’ve spent a lot of time this spring trying to figure out who’s going to be the Red Sox’ primary setup man, you’ve put more thought into it than Alex Cora.
The Red Sox manager is not interested.
“You have to patch 27 outs somehow, some way,” Cora said. “And it will take the best guy in those situations. That’s the way I see it.”
Craig Kimbrel is the closer, but Cora thinks the rest of the bullpen is best managed on a case-by-case basis, especially given the number of relievers with late-inning experience.
