Red Sox's relievers blow two games in a row; here are some players they should target by the deadline image

The Boston Red Sox have blown two games in a row due to reliever pitching over the past two days, and this problem has been around for the whole season. With the injury setup reliever Chris Martin, it has proven that the Sox rely on him and Kenley Jansen too much to win close games. Here are some relievers the Sox should target by the deadline to solidify their bullpen. 

 

Tanner Scott, Miami Marlins: Scott is having a breakout season, having a 1.3 ERA and 46 strikeouts. Scott is left-handed, which the Sox bullpen desperately needs. He is also on the Marlins, who are rebuilding, and would move the 29-year-old for younger prospects. 

 

Mason Miller, Oakland Athletics: Miller was an All-Star this year, and holds the record for fastest pitch this year. Oakland is also a rebuilding team heading to Las Vegas in a couple years, so if they want to focus on Vegas as the rebuilding area, Miller could be dealt.

 

Aroldis Chapman, Pittsburgh Pirates: Another lefty reliever with a legendary career, Chapman is older, but he has the resume to be a great power-up for the bullpen for this hopeful playoff run.
