Red Sox Offseason Target: Kelvin Herrera
Photo by Ron Schwane/Getty ImagesThe Red Sox are looking for relief help this winter. *Extremely Jay Leno Voice* Have you heard about this? Boston lost both Craig Kimbrel and Joe Kelly out of a bullpen that already ostensibly needed some help to begin with, so they are expected to be looking at most of the top relievers available in free agency this winter. Presumably that includes Kimbrel, who is understandably looking for a ton of money as a Hall of Fame pitcher in his prime. He’s reportedly seeking six deals, though he’s almost certainly not going to get that. He and his agent almost certainly know it, too. It’s unclear at this point whether or not the Red Sox will be willing to spend the money for Kimbrel, but whether it’s him or someone else the 2019 closer is very likely not in the organization as we speak today.
