The Boston Red Sox are considering adding veteran depth to their bullpen, which has not performed as well as their starting rotation this season. While the Red Sox boast the best starting pitcher ERA in baseball at 2.03, their bullpen ranks 17th with a 4.11 ERA.
One potential option is Mitch White, a five-year MLB veteran who was recently designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays. White could provide experienced depth to the Red Sox bullpen and might be available at a reasonable cost, either through a waiver claim or a minor-league deal if he clears waivers.
Although White’s numbers in the majors and minors are not exceptional, he could be a valuable addition to the Red Sox, especially considering their injury concerns. While White may not drastically improve the bullpen, he could provide a reliable option in case of injuries or inconsistent performances from other relievers.
