4/23/25 | Red Sox trade idea adds flamethrowing closer to already formidable bullpen. Despite not having a set closer entering the season, the back-end of the Boston Red Sox bullpen has been surprisingly dominant. Thus far, the Red Sox have alternated between veteran left-hander Aroldis Chapman and right-hander Justin Slaten in the ninth inning, depending on the matchup, and both pitchers have excelled. Chapman has struck out 14 batters against just four walks while displaying his usual triple-digit fastball, and Slaten has made nine scoreless appearances in ten total outings while retiring 21 straight batters. The Red Sox have also received strong contributions from oft-injured right-hander Garrett Whitlock, who has posted a 1.84 ERA and a 19-5 strikeout-to-walk ratio in mostly a multi-inning role.

The Boston Red Sox don't know who their go-to closer will be in September, but they have three options at the moment. 37-year-old veteran Aroldis Chapman began the season as Boston's guy after a strong Spring Training, and Chapman hasn't done much to take himself out of the running. The former New York Yankees closer is 2-1 with a 1.23 ERA, 12 strikeouts, and four saves in nine appearances (7 1/3 innings pitched). Justin Slaten is another option at closer for Boston.

4/13/25 | Red Sox Could Trade For Cardinals All-Star, Ruining Yankees' Rumored Plan. Are the Boston Red Sox completely comfortable with their closer situation? 37-year-old Aroldis Chapman has been solid to begin the 2025 campaign, but not perfect. The first blemish on Chapman's resume as a Red Sox arrived on Saturday when he allowed a walk-off RBI single to Chicago White Sox infielder Brooks Baldwin in the bottom of the ninth. Baldwin's frozen rope off Chapman brought home White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr., whom Chapman had walked earlier in the inning. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news... |

Chapman entered a tied game in the ninth inning and allowed a walk-off hit to Brooks Baldwin after a leadoff walk. It marked his first loss as the Red Sox closer and marked Boston's fifth loss in its last six games. “It hurts all the same, every single loss that we have,” Chapman told reporters in Chicago through Red Sox translator Daveson Perez.

4/09/25 | Red Sox 3-Time All-Star 'Likely' To Take Big Step Towards Boston. The Boston Red Sox's bullpen has been pretty good to kick off the 2025 Major League Baseball season. Boston's bullpen currently ranks 10th in the big leagues with a 4.10 ERA, but that has been skewed after a couple of tough days. There's a lot to like about the bullpen, though. Aroldis Chapman and Justin Wilson have combined to strike out seven batters in 7 1/3 innings pitched and neither have allowed an earned run.

3/25/25 | Aroldis Chapman's Red Sox closer role comes with intriguing twist. Aroldis Chapman will handle closing duties for the Boston Red Sox in 2025. However, Chapman's role comes with a twist , according to Ian Browne of MLB.com. “While Aroldis Chapman is the closer heading into the season, Alex Cora is leaving wiggle room for leverage. For example, if Cory Seager leads off the eighth inning on Thursday, don't be surprised if Chapman takes the ball then with someone else (Hendriks or Slaten) in the 9th,” Browne wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Liam Hendriks and Justin Slaten could receive opportunities in the 9th inning depending on specific circumstances. This is not a closer-by-committee situation, though.

On Thursday, however, his Opening Day assignment for the Red Sox against the Rangers will represent something different. Crochet, who was still trying to prove he could start in the big leagues last March 28, has emerged as one of the most overpowering pitchers in baseball. “You're basically getting an elite closer — an Aroldis Chapman type —pitching in a starting role,” said White Sox senior adviser to pitching Brian Bannister, formerly the Red Sox' director of pitching. “Unworldly,” said White Sox pitcher Jonathan Cannon.

3/20/25 | Red Sox closer candidate admits there's a better man for the job. Hendriks has been in contention for Boston's closer role, but he admitted to reporters that the job should really go to someone else. "I think it's been pretty well proven this spring training who deserves that spot after earning it all spring and that's definitely not me," Hendriks said. Instead, Hendriks believes Aroldis Chapman should get the job. “Things will shake out however they shake out, but if you want to talk about the guy who's looked the best in spring training, that's Chapman,” Hendriks said.

Here was this powerful lefty reliever from Cuba who could overwhelm hitters and light up radar guns. From the beginning, Chapman would rather routinely hit 100 mph — or more.

2/03/25 | Red Sox Predicted To Sign $7.1 Million Star Reliever As Liam Hendriks Insurance. The Boston Red Sox still have a lengthy to-do list as Spring Training approaches, and adding another reliever should be near the top. After the All-Star break, the Red Sox ranked dead last in bullpen ERA and blown saves, and a league-average bullpen might have made up the five-game gap between Boston and the playoffs. Aroldis Chapman has since joined the mix, while Chris Martin and (likely) Kenley Jansen have departed. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news... |
