Red Sox Expect Kimbrel Closer To Emerge From Within Roster

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Boston expects its new closer to emerge from the current Red Sox roster.

"Any time you say you're going to replace a player of Craig Kimbrel's caliber, with the type talent he has, it's not easily done," Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said Wednesday as spring training workouts started.
