The Red Sox are targeting veteran left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe to bolster their 2026 bullpen as a Justin Wilson-type arm.
Toronto's 3.98 bullpen ERA in the regular season ranked in the middle of the pack across baseball, and the lack of shutdown relief arms led to some blown games in the postseason. The Blue Jays bullpen posted a 4.44 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in their 18 playoff games, with a whopping 17 home runs given up. Left-handed relief was a particular concern due to Brendon Little's October struggles. Despite the emergence of rookie reliever Mason Fluharty, a veteran addition is likely in the cards heading into 2026.
