We’re roughly two months into the Major League Baseball offseason, and so far the Boston Red Sox have addressed their bullpen needs only with a series of minor moves.
However, might a notable signing be on the horizon?
The Red Sox are among the teams showing “continued interest” in reliever Adam Ottavino, MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reported Thursday, citing sources. Boston reportedly has been in on Ottavino since the winter meetings.

Ottavino would be a major addition for Boston.
The 33-year-old was one of the best relievers in all of baseball last season, going 6-4 with a 2.43 ERA in 75 appearances for the Colorado Rockies. The right-hander posted a stellar 0.991 WHIP and 13 strikeouts per nine innings.
