| 2/21/25 | Red Sox Listed Among Early Trade Favorites For Cardinals $8.2 Million All-Star.

While there's talent on the roster (see: Liam Hendriks, Aroldis Chapman, Garrett Whitlock, Justin Slaten), the Red Sox could still be due for upgrades to the bullpen as the season goes along.

| 1/28/25 | 3 Realistic Relievers Texas Rangers Could Pursue Before Spring Training Begins. The Texas Rangers have a problem in their bullpen; they don't have a closer. For a team that has the goal of contending for another World Series championship and winning their division for the first time since 2016, not having a true shutdown man they can rely on when things are tight is something that could haunt them. Chris Martin, one of their five offseason bullpen additions, seems like he could step into that role at the start of the year despite just having 14 careers saves in 30 opportunities. There are still options out there, but since the Rangers wanted to shed salary this winter that gets their payroll under the $241 million Competitive Balance Tax threshold to reduce their tax penalties going forward, the current $235 million salary on the books doesn't give them a lot of room to go out and sign an impact arm.
