Boston Red Sox Move Former Cy Young Winner To The Bullpen

 

The Boston Red Sox have been off to a solid start in 2023, despite being tied for last place in the stacked American League East division, and now, they're making a big shift in hopes of rekindling the career of a former Cy Young Award Winner. 

That would Manager Alex Cora shifting Corey Kluber to the bullpen, as he has struggled through nine starts this season with a 2-6 record and a poor 6.26 ERA, but given his success in the past, he can still be a valuable asset for this team. 

Alex Cora has announced that Corey Kluber will be moved to the bullpen and Tanner Houck will keep his spot in the rotation.

This is the right move for now and the future.

In his place, Tanner Houck will shift into the starting rotation following a stellar 6 inning, 1 run outing against the Angels on Monday, and with plenty of time to catch up to the playoff race in the American League, this could be a fantastic move.
