Free-agent left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe has reached an agreement on a one-year, major-league contract with the Boston Red Sox, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
The agreement brings a veteran left-handed presence to the Boston Red Sox bullpen. According to the report, the deal is a major-league contract, which would place Coulombe on the team's 40-man roster. The Red Sox have been looking to add depth to their pitching staff, and this signing represents a move to solidify their relief options with an experienced southpaw.
Coulombe has spent time with several major league clubs throughout his career. This one-year deal allows the Red Sox to integrate him into their relief corps as they prepare for the upcoming season. The specific financial details of the contract have not yet been disclosed by the team or the player's representatives.
The addition of Coulombe provides manager Alex Cora with another situational option for the middle innings. As a left-handed specialist, his presence will be vital for a Red Sox team looking to compete in the highly competitive American League East. The deal is expected to be made official once the player passes a physical examination.
