As Opening Day approaches, the Boston Red Sox's roster decisions are becoming clearer, particularly regarding pitching. Manager Alex Cora pointed out there are still spots open in both the rotation and bullpen, hinting at potential inclusion of Sean Newcomb. Cora confirmed five relievers are set, while the last spots could hinge on Newcomb's role. He seems to be performing well and possibly in the best shape of his career, making him a strong candidate for the team. The uncertainty in the bullpen could depend on how they decide to utilize Newcomb.
Cora: "We've got one more spot in the rotation, probably two spots in the bullpen and then a few decisions position player-wise." - Chris Cotillo (@ChrisCotillo) March 22, 2025
Cora said 5 relievers are locks: Chapman, Wilson, Slaten, Whitlock, Hendriks. "The final move won't be today or tomorrow..." - Chris Cotillo (@ChrisCotillo) March 22, 2025
Cora says there's "probably" two more spots in the bullpen... Only two out of Bernardino, Criswell, Kelly, Mata, and Weissert making it brings us to seven..."
Newcomb makes a ton of sense for three reasons: He looks sharp on the mound...he's left handed.
