If Boston wants a southpaw ace, the last option readily available is Atlanta Braves lefty Max Fried. Fried sits in unrestricted free agency and the Red Sox won't be able to sit on their hands while he fields offers from other teams. The Red Sox now have one clear target in mind and they're going to need to do anything in their power to bring him to Fenway Park.
No already-employed player was sought after more at these GM meetings than Chicago White Sox starter Garrett Crochet, who struck out 209 batters in 146 innings and earned only $800,000 last season. Many teams will be in on trying to land Crochet. Once he is traded, those who didn't land him will surely target the Braves star.
