The Boston Red Sox are contemplating significant changes to their bullpen, with Danny Coulombe potentially facing designation for assignment. Currently, Coulombe has an ERA over 6.00, and the team recently acquired fellow left-handed reliever Joe La Sorsa. If the Red Sox do not climb back into playoff contention, they might also explore trading other relievers. This move could come sooner than the trade deadline as they address struggling performances in their roster.
