Trio of new relievers round out Red Sox roster for Opening Day

“Where we’re at right now, without making promises, yes,” Cora said when asked about those players.

Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow doesn’t believe more moves are coming, but cautioned the team has not closed the door to additions from outside the organization.

Lefthander Brennan Bernardino was optioned to Triple A Worcester before Monday night’s 9-2 victory against the Texas Rangers.

Bernardino had a 3.20 ERA over 55 appearances last season and averaged 10.3 strikeouts per nine innings. He has worked 6⅔ scoreless innings in spring training.

“It was a real tough one. You have to live with it,” Cora said. “I believe Bernie’s going to be a big part of our team.”

Cora said the Sox have made roster flexibility a priority and that Bernardino having minor league options was a factor. The Sox want depth on their 40-man roster, particularly with the pitching staff.

Joely Rodriguez is the only lefthander in the bullpen, although the Sox are confident Campbell can handle lefthanded hitters when needed.

Reyes and Valdez are a patch at second base until Vaughn Grissom is ready to come off the injured list, which could take a month. He missed all of spring training with injuries.

The Rangers signed free agent righthander Michael Lorenzen to a one-year, $4.5 million contract last week that included $2.5 million in performance bonuses.

Lorenzen, 32, was 9-9 with a 4.18 ERA for the Tigers and Phillies last season, throwing 153 innings and making 25 starts.

He seemingly could have been a good fit for the cost-conscious Red Sox. But talks never got off the ground.

“We spoke. But that was it,” Lorenzen said. “It never got to the point where they made an offer.”

The Sox have not approached righthander Kutter Crawford about a contract extension. But he’s open to the idea.

“If they want to talk, I’ll listen for sure,” he said.

Crawford, who is represented by B.B. Abbott, is 9-15 with a 4.74 ERA over parts of three seasons and will be part of the rotation to open the season.

Crawford had a 4.04 ERA over 129⅓ innings last season.

Kenley Jansen and Chris Martin are scheduled to pitch Tuesday afternoon. That is their final hurdle to being cleared for Opening Day. Martin has appeared in only two exhibition games because of a groin strain and Jansen three due to a tight back and a lat strain. “They should be fine. If they post [Tuesday], they’ll be OK,” Cora said. The Sox are planning a bullpen game Tuesday with minor league righthander Richard Fitts starting. Martin and Jansen will pitch early in the game, not in their usual late-inning slots . . . Tyler O’Neill started in right field. He played only 37 innings in the field over the first 32 exhibition games because of a left calf strain. “I’m fine now. We were just being careful,” he said. Cora doesn’t plan to play O’Neill on the artificial turf Tuesday afternoon unless he needs the work . . . Breslow was joined in Texas by assistant general managers Eddie Romero and Paul Toboni, who also will be in Seattle. Breslow plans to stay with the team for the entire road trip to both evaluate the roster in person and get a getter gauge of how the coaching and analytics staff prepares for games . . . Cora accepted a position with the New Balance Sports Leadership and Administration program at UMass Boston. He will be an executive in residence, providing advice to students in the program as his managing duties permit it . . . The Sox released 23-year-old outfielder Gilberto Jimenez, who originally signed in 2017. Jimenez was considered one of the organization’s top prospects from 2019-22 but faded in recent years, this athleticism not translating to production. He had a .608 OPS in two levels of Class A ball last season . . . Former Sox Sandy Leon (Royals) and Drew Pomeranz (Angels) were released.
