The Boston Red Sox used 33 pitchers this season, not counting a pair of position players, and right-hander Isaiah Campbell will likely become one of the most forgotten names of the bunch.
Campbell, 28, was a second-year Red Sox after arriving in a trade from the Seattle Mariners. On paper, he looked like a decent pickup for the bullpen before the 2024 season, but every time he touched a major league mound, he seemed to get his teeth kicked in.
In 14 1/3 innings spread across two seasons, Campbell allowed 18 earned runs on 19 hits, including four home runs. He spent most of his time with Triple-A Worcester, and this summer, he was designated for assignment and outrighted off the 40-man roster, enabling him to elect free agency.
