"Bullpen Trade Backfires: Marlins and Red Sox Struggle to Find Success"
The bullpen trade between the Red Sox and Marlins, which sent Matt Barnes to Miami and Richard Bleier to Boston, hasn't worked out well for either team. Both pitchers struggled before getting injured, with Bleier allowing runs and hits and struggling against left-handed batters, while Barnes had a slightly better start before a hip impingement landed him on the injured list. Despite the trade not benefiting either team, the Red Sox have managed to perform well with their bullpen, thanks to solid performances from other relievers. Bleier is on his way back from injury and could factor into the mix later in the season.
