Refreshed Tanner Houck is ready to start anew in Red Sox rotation

There's plenty of little kid remaining in the 27-year-old righthander who was a first-round pick of the Red Sox in 2017. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and pitching coach Andrew Bailey are new to their jobs and have little time or sentiment invested in the players they inherited. Other than to say Houck will have a chance to compete for a rotation slot, nothing is guaranteed. The Sox have at least seven candidates to start, counting Josh Winckowski.
