After another long offseason with spring training in sight, the Boston Red Sox still have a few final additions they must make to their roster. An infielder continues to evade them, the biggest story of their winter pursuits, but they also need to supplement their bullpen with some fresh relief arms.
Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow wants to add a lefty to his bullpen before Opening Day, which will take both money and roster space. Boston's 40-man roster is full after the Ranger Suárez trade and some relievers could become roster casualties to new players.
In his first Opening Day roster projection, Red Sox beat reporter Chris Cotillo of MassLive theorized that one of them could be Jordan Hicks.
