Manager Terry Francona said he was having a tough time figuring out how to use the 39-year-old reliever in a bullpen mix that features several hard-throwing righties. For the most part, he was kind of pitching when we were in games that were spread out,” Francona said. That doesn’t necessarily fit the role you want for kind of a lefty specialist.

12/23/20	N&N: Nick Wittgren gets some money. Wittgren was very good again last season, although Sandy Alomar seemed to think he had magic jam-exiting superpowers, which got the Indians burned a couple times. I would expect another good year from Wittgren in 2021, although relief pitchers are as hard to predict as any pro athletes. Around baseball • Sam Fuld is now the general manager of the Phillies.

11/10/20	Scott's 2020-2021 Offseason Plan, But For Real This Time. Nick Wittgren (pick-up): I thought he was a low-key steal from Miami and would like to see him continue to be found money for the bullpen. Contract options: Carlos Santana (decline): This one hurts. In my pre-saber days I thought Los was deadweight, over time I came to appreciate his hidden value as a master of the walk and underrated defense at 1B. Now, I love the guy.
