The Boston Red Sox bullpen, already the most overworked in Major League Baseball, faces challenges with Justin Slaten going on the Injured List due to arm fatigue. Brennan Bernardino, another key reliever, has also been pushed hard this season. While Garrett Crochet’s recent performance provides some relief, concerns remain about the team's bullpen and roster strategies. The situation underscores potential offseason construction issues, with players being shifted to unfamiliar roles, highlighting organizational challenges the team faces amid injuries and performance expectations.
The Red Sox bullpen is overworked as it is, with the Boston relief corps currently leading all of baseball in innings pitched.
Brennan Bernardino certainly knows a little something about a heavy workload. The reliever has pitched in 27 games so far this season.
Crochet showed the Sox 'what big boys do' while pitching into the seventh inning against the Braves.
The fact that the Sox are once again asking players to move to unfamiliar positions points to some offseason roster construction failures.
