The Boston Red Sox bullpen was among MLB’s best in 2025. It’s a similar group heading into 2026, though there is one glaring weakness that must be addressed. Other than All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman, the Red Sox don’t have any reliable left-handed relief pitchers on their current roster. Jovani Moran is the only other southpaw reliever with MLB experience, and he has made only two big-league appearances in the last two seasons. MORE RED SOX PREVIEWS: Rotation | Infield | Outfield Boston parted ways with left-handers Brennan Bernardino, Steven Matz, and Justin Wilson during the offseason. Fortunately, there are still…

Sometimes they’re silly, like the picture at the top of this piece, with Brayan Bello doing his best Carnac the Magnificent (don’t say we never make pop culture references for you, boomers).These are always entertaining to look at because not every player does a silly one. There are guys who come in and get it over with quickly, one-and-done, while others know this…
