The Red Sox announced that they have selected left-hander Shane Drohan as well right-handers David Sandlin and Tyler Uberstine to the roster. They opened 40-man spots by designating right-hander Josh Winckowski for assignment, trading left-hander Brennan Bernardino to the Rockies and trading left-hander Chris Murphy to the White Sox, moves which were previously reported. The three selections were reported by Chris Cotillo of MassLive prior to the official club announcement.
More to come.
Shane Drohan is the new Brennan Bernardino
Meow – I hope so! I was a fan of Bernie since Day One, sorry to see him go 😢
So we go from a plethora of lefties to zero lefties!? I hope there’s a plan here. Both Murphy & Bernardino were decent pieces. But it’s early. Patience I’m told.
Nope no plan. Who makes a plan for the offseason? NERDS, thats who. They havent all been strategizing for months now in anticipation for this very day.
Bernardino trade makes 0 sense.
I actually think Chris Murphy is going to turn out to be the better pitcher of the two. I am sorry to see him go.
I like Murphy and Bernardino better than drohan. Oh well
The only real question with Drohan is health. He’s got great stuff and I’m guessing he’s going to be given every chance to win the bullpen job. If healthy his stuff is legit. He got a 40% whiff rate on his fastball and his change is his best pitch along with at least an average or better slider and a better than average curve. It’s the health I’m concerned about but the stuff is real.
Curious who the LHs will be in the pen. Murphy and Bernardino gone. Matz and Wilson have decisions to make. Might create a spot for someone like Tolle. That would be a fun experiment.
They will develop Tolle as a starter I’m sure of that he’s starting in AAA. Drohan hasn’t been able to stay healthy as a starter so I’ll bet he’s going to be one of the lefties out of the pen. His stuff is legit.
Looks like theyre getting the right guys onto the 40man.
It ain’t gonna be easy to replace Bernardino’s 55 appearances though
Surprised they didn’t pick Miguel Bleis but I get there some question marks. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s picked up by someone else, though, at least to test him out.
Thats a name that kind of never lived up to the early hype hes only 21 but really hasn’t shown he is deserving of a 40 man spot on a contender..id be shocked if some team thought enough of him to carry him on the 26 man.
Or traded
Uberstine = Big German Beer Mug 🍺
