The Red Sox will be without their star closer, Kenley Jansen, for their final series of the season against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park. Jansen was placed on the injured list with shoulder inflammation and has returned home, ending his season prematurely. It also marks the end of his tenure with the Red Sox as he is set to become a free agent after this season. Throughout his two years with the team, Jansen expressed frustration with the lack of postseason success and meaningful offseason moves. Despite his short time in Boston, Jansen has solidified his legacy as one of the best closers in MLB history, with the fourth most saves. Speculation is now rife about Jansen’s future, with the possibility of a return to the Los Angeles Dodgers where he spent the first 12 years of his career, leading the team to a World Series victory in 2020. Fans will have to wait and see where Jansen’s next chapter in baseball will take him, but his impact on the Red Sox and his career achievements remain undeniable.
