Locked On Red Sox - Daily Podcast On The Boston Red Sox

Red Sox Bullpen Shakeup: Chapman's Future, Anthony's Injury, and Alcala's DFA

Boston's pitching staff faces major decisions. Should the Red Sox keep Aroldis Chapman beyond 2025? His dominant 1.21 ERA and 65 strikeouts make a compelling case. Roman Anthony's back tightness raises concerns, but is it just a minor setback for the promising 21-year-old outfielder? Jorge Alcala's designation for assignment after a disastrous outing leaves the bullpen in flux.

Host Gabby (Hurlbut) Maljanian breaks down Chapman's value, Anthony's mature plate approach, and the ripple effects of Alcala's departure. Will these moves impact Boston's playoff push?

Tune in for expert analysis on the Red Sox's pitching strategy and how it shapes their postseason chances.
