Red Sox Could Trade From Rotation Depth
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Boston Red Sox signed free agent pitcher Ranger Suárez to a five-year, $130 million contract and acquired pitchers Sonny Gray and Johan Oviedo via trade, potentially replacing 60% of their starting rotation despite losing Lucas Giolito to free agency.
- The team has 8-10 viable starting pitching options and may consider trading a starter to address infield needs, as they lack a clear second baseman and missed out on Alex Bregman and Ketel Marte in free agency and trade talks.
- Top pitching trade candidates include prospects Payton Tolle and Conner Early, both highly regarded and controllable for six years, and Brayan Bello, a mid-rotation starter with a $6 million salary next season but some performance concerns
