Red Sox Notes: Ottavino, Luxury Tax, Bradley Jr. https://t.co/8A70uFm7eQ
This is a question for him tonight when he meets the media.
@ChrisCotillo The big question is will Ottavino become the second player in Red Sox history to wear the number zero?
It's safe to say the debut of former Salem Sox star, @houck_tanner, was one of the bright spots for Boston last season. Here is Tanner talking about what comes next.

Disingenuous isn’t in his repertoire. He retired seven weeks after the season ended a and a month before the draft. Sorry they missed out on Cook, but they could have replaced him.
@GlobeChadFinn I think they gave him a lot too. It was a disingenuous move by him. I will cheer for Tom but not for him.

Bloom: ‘Bullpens are one of those things where you never feel like you’re there... (But) this move puts us in a better place.’
Bloom says Sox can’t think about whether or not they’re helping the Yankees. ‘We’re not going to play scared.’
Chaim Bloom on $210M CBT threshold: "There's no firm, hard ceiling." Says it's a factor, but not a mandate. So Red Sox could -- theoretically -- go over.
Bloom says the $210 million luxury tax threshold is "a factor but not a firm mandate."
Bloom says the $210M luxury tax threshold is ‘a factor’ but avoidance of going over it is ‘not a firm mandate.’
RT @BostonDotCom: .@GlobeChadFinn: Are you rooting for Rob Gronkowski to win the Super Bowl? https://t.co/LuvhaO6Umw
Interesting. I thought it was a one-on-one tournament.
@BostonDotCom @GlobeChadFinn Rooting for TB Buccaneers ~ not Gronkowski, it’s a team sport.
Bloom said they haven't defined any roles yet, but like that Ottavino has experience in high leverage, closing situations alongside Barnes
Bloom says Ottavino can pitch in any late-inning situation. TBD how exactly he and Barnes are deployed.
Chaim Bloom says the Red Sox continue to keep tabs on Jackie Bradley Jr., and will do so until he signs.
Bloom said he expects to stay in touch with Jackie Bradley Jr. until his free agency resolves.
Chaim Bloom on Jackie Bradley Jr.: ‘We continue to stay in touch with him... I expect we’ll continue to until his free agency resolves.’
Bloom reiterates that the Red Sox are still in touch with Bradley Jr. and that they will be until the end of his free agency.
Chaim Bloom: "We can expect to be in a position in these next couple weeks where we've checked a lot of the boxes" in terms of finalizing the roster, but says work isn't necessarily done.
* He can't discuss Perez, Kiké or Richards yet -- not official *
Bloom said they dug in a bit on why Ottavino's 2020 wasn't great. They felt a lot of his stuff was still similar to 2019 and noted one particularly bad outing inflated his numbers.
