Bobby Jenks is going to the Boston Red Sox. The Sox get a former closer that is coming off ulnar neuritis in his right forearm.
Jenks is a former dominating closer. He helped net the Chicago White Sox the World Series in 2005. At the time he would grove fastballs past hitters with precision and ease. Last year he lost his closer role when his ERA shot up to 4.44 and he had a string of injuries. He still managed 27 saves on the year.
The acquisition gives the Red Sox another arm in the stable. They now have a formidable one-two in Jenks and Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon. Incidentally, Papelbon is a free agent after the season. This signing may be an out if they choose not to offer their current closer an extension.
Either way, it seems that the rich keep getting richer. It would be nice if there were other teams in baseball other than in the North East.
