The Red Sox have the 24th ranked farm system in @MLBPipeline’s latest update. 3rd-biggest drop from their preseason rankings, but obviously a huge factor is the Rutschman trade + Tolle, Early, and Bennett all graduating. Arias is #3 on the Top 100. Gonzales is #79.

Bullpen game for the Red Sox tomorrow. Alec Gamboa will function as the opener. Bello will be able to provide length. Mentioned specifically pushing Jake Bennett back. Feels like it goes right in the face of their workload concern comments on Friday.

Bullpen game for the Red Sox tomorrow. They haven’t decided on the opener, but Erik Miller makes a lot of sense. Bello and Gamboa as bulk options Mentioned specifically pushing Jake Bennett back. Feels like it goes right in the face of their workload concern comments on Friday.
