Ben Campbell: “Brayan Bello (in relief) has the 4th lowest ERA of any reliever in baseball (minimum 25 IP) at 0.71 and the 7th lowest FIP at 1.71 as well Meanwhile he’s been quite literally the least valuable SP in baseball and the Red Sox cannot find an opener for him to stay in this role”

@meteoconery: “As it should be for the rest of Bello’s days until he hopefully gets traded”
