News: The Boston Herald reports that the Red Sox have offered former Indians closer Joe Borowski a minor-league contract. Borowski threw a bullpen session for the Red Sox and Tigers recently in Arizona.
Analysis: Borowski would be eligible to play in the postseason for the Red Sox, but he's unlikely to be much more than a middle reliever if he does somehow make it back to the bigs. Continue to hold on to him in deeper AL-only formats for the time being
Joe Borowski has reportedly been offered a minor league deal by the Red Sox, according to the Boston Herald. If the Sox sign Borowski, he would be eligible to pitch in the postseason even if he does not appear in the major leagues until after September 1. MLB rules require only that a player be part of an organization before September 1 in order to maintain postseason eligibility.Borowski would not see any save chances in Boston if Jon Papelbon remains intact, and his innings would be very limited in a strong bullpen.
Tony Massarotti, of the Boston Herald, reports the Boston Red Sox have offered free-agent CL Joe Borowski (Indians) a minor-league contract, according to a source.
The Boston Herald reports that the Red Sox have offered Joe Borowski a minor league contract. Borowski is a long-shot to contribute to the Sox this season, but he his salary is a drop in the bucket. Still, his velocity was way down before getting released by the Indians, and he'd have to recapture it if he's even going to be a decent insurance policy.Source: BostonHerald.com Related: Red Sox
Indians general manager Mark Shapiro doesn't believe the franchise has a closer in their system to properly replace Joe Borowski. "We'll probably have to address that in the off-season," he tells the Cleveland Plain Dealer.Nice. We're sure such words are a boost of confidence for Masa Kobayahi, Rafael Betancourt, Rafael Perez, and other Indians relievers.
