The Red Sox are currently competing for a playoff position, sitting tied for the third wild card slot with a record of four games over .500. Despite recent six-game winning streak, the team is aware of its challenges, as shown by a playoff probability of 35.9 percent according to FanGraphs. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow indicated that all options are on the table for augmenting the roster before the trade deadline, stressing the importance of evaluating the team's strengths and weaknesses, particularly in starting pitching amid recent player performances.
"It kinda depends on where we are, so we have to zoom out a little bit and try to figure out who we are, what do we have coming back and what do we think is sustainable."
"A month and a half ago, we would have talked a ton about starting pitching and getting more consistency and finding someone who slots in toward the top of the rotation behind Garrett [Crochet]."
"And then you look at what Lucas [Giolito] and Brayan [Bello] have done over the last month and a half, and you start to feel confident in the way the starting pitching is coming together."
"We have some depth, but I think if there's the opportunity to provide some impact starting pitching, and add that to the group, that's probably where we'd focus."
