MLB free agency focuses on bullpen and left-handed relief targets

As the Major League Baseball offseason approaches, attention is turning toward the bullpen market and potential free agent acquisitions. For the Boston Red Sox, adding offensive depth remains a primary goal, though veteran pitching is being discussed as a secondary priority. One suggested target is New York Yankees left-hander Ryan Yarbrough, who posted a 3.69 ERA in 63.1 innings during the 2026 season.

In the broader left-handed relief market, Adrian Morejon is identified as a premier non-closing reliever entering free agency. The Cuban-born pitcher is coming off a season with a 2.83 ERA and a 99 mph average fastball. While Morejon has faced previous injury concerns, including Tommy John surgery, he has maintained health for the last three seasons, though a recent shoulder issue has raised questions regarding his immediate availability.
