he Boston Red Sox are reportedly eyeing another left-handed pitcher to add to their bullpen, according to a recent report by MassLive.com’s Sean McAdam:
“There remains a handful of veteran lefty relievers still available on the free agent market, including Jalen Beeks, Danny Coulombe, Colin Poche and Joey Lucchesi. Wilson, meanwhile, is said to be leaning toward retirement.”
The Red Sox internal lefty options on Boston’s depth chart include: Aroldis Chapman (closer), Jovani Moran, and Tyler Samaniego.

Red Sox Should Sign Danny Coulombe in MLB Free Agency
MLB free agency is still technically underway, as there are a handful of veterans on the market who are still looking for a new team ahead of the 2026 season. Danny Coulombe is one of those names.
Coulombe posted a 2.30 ERA last year with the Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers over 43 total innings. His time with Texas, where he was traded at the trade deadline, was much less productive than the first half of the 2025 season. Coulombe had a very attractive 1.16 ERA over the 31 innings of the ’25 campaign with the Twins, which ultimately led to him being dealt.
The Boston Red Sox should consider signing Danny Coulombe before Opening Day to cap off their offseason.
He is a 36-year-old southpaw with not much overpowering stuff, but he’s able to miss barrels and keep the ball in the yard.
