The Boston Red Sox will use a new closer with Craig Kimbrel lingering in free agency.

With Opening Day on Thursday, Alex Cora declined to reveal who will close for the Red Sox.

"I'm not going to name a closer. I've been saying it all along," Cora said. "I don't think there's a structure or a script you have to follow.

"Tomorrow, people will see what we're going to do. I feel fine. I'm OK with it."

The Red Sox open their title defense against the Seattle Mariners.
