The Red Sox have faced significant struggles in their bullpen, particularly with late-game pitchers like Jorge Alcala, Chris Murphy, and Isaiah Campbell, forcing starters like Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman into unnecessary appearances. Recently, Campbell's poor performance resulted in a loss to the Marlins, highlighting the need for improvements. The team may consider promoting prospects such as Payton Tolle and David Sandlin to bolster the bullpen. While this provides a chance for evaluation, the potential unpredictability of their performance could pose a challenge for their development.
“Jorge Alcala, Chris Murphy, and now Isaiah Campbell have all struggled late in games, forcing Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman to make appearances they otherwise shouldn't have.”
“Using a prospect may provide an early look at how they'll perform in the major leagues, allowing them to pitch their way into high-leverage situations.”
