The Boston Red Sox made an interesting bullpen addition on Thursday Boston announced the signing of left-hander Danny Coulombe, who was surprisingly still a free agent.

The Red Sox gave him a major league deal, as he will be in Bostonโ€™s bullpen this season. Although Coulombe signed late, he figures to be an impact reliever for the team, and Red Sox manager Alex Cora is ecstatic that Craig Breslow and the front office were able to sign him. โ€œThe kitchen sink,โ€ Cora said about Coulombe, via BostonGlobe.

โ€œHeโ€™s a guy that had a great season last year. Heโ€™s able to spin the ball, avoids damage from the left side. Been there, done that.

So, happy with the way we went about it, and happy that heโ€™s here with us. โ€ Boston signed Coulombe to a one-year, $1 million deal, and it was a long time coming. The two sides first touched base in November, and Coulombe wanted to join Boston as he felt like it was a good fit.
