Summary
The Red Sox made a tough but strategic move by designating lefty reliever Danny Coulombe for assignment, just shy of hitting a bonus threshold that would’ve earned him $75K — saving the team cash while still paying him $1.75M total for the season. Despite a solid clubhouse presence and a long outing (37 pitches), his 4.50 ERA and poor K/BB ratio in 22 innings didn’t match the expectations of a reliable bullpen arm. With key arms like Eduardo Rivera and Brayan Bello on the horizon, the decision underscores the Red Sox’s commitment to playoff contention — even if it means letting go of a beloved teammate.
