Their biggest need is the rotation. Even though they're fourth in the majors in rotation ERA, they're one injury away - and they've had some already - from a serious problem. Now, the issue is every other contender is pretty much looking for the same thing.
The Red Sox are basically one starting pitcher short due to the season-ending injury to Garrett Whitlock. An upgrade to the rotation would certainly help, given the current strain on starting arms.
Rosenthal revealed the Red Sox could target several pitchers on the trade market like Jack Flaherty, Garrett Crochet, Erick Fredde, Zach Eflin, Yusei Kikuchi, and Chris Bassitt. The focus remains on adding depth to the rotation.
If Boston doesn't acquire a starting pitcher, Rosenthal suggests they may consider right-handed relief help and a middle infielder. However, the top priority remains addressing the rotation for a playoff push.
