Gonzalez to the bullpen per ESPN

Yes. Giving Latos the first opportunity seems to make sense. If Latos doesn't prove worthy of the 5th spot in the rotation, they can always move Gonzalez back into the rotation. I would not be surprised that, as the season goes along, the Sox also think other pitchers in the minors might be ready to give the 5th spot a try too.

This is the one way the Sox can hold on to both pitchers. This is roster management.

 

Not true. Gonzalez has an option left (options are good for a full season). Unless you meant just on the 25-man roster in general than yes it is.

Long term - I get it. If Latos was immediately sent to the pen, I could see him becoming a real asshole about it. Hopefully this lights a fire under his ass or allows him to accept a demotion to the pen should he fail.

I was just going to say this. Latos probably can't take being sent to the bullpen without some major meltdown or flipping out on someone. Miguel is probably a lot more likely to swallow his pride and just do it.
