OTM Open Thread 11/20: So Long and Thanks for All the Pitch
Briefly

Nick Pivetta's decision to decline the Red Sox qualifying offer highlights the current robust market for starting pitchers, shifting the focus to who will fill his innings.
Craig Breslow's strategy may be seen as a masterstroke, as he remains poised to reshape the team during free agency and trades, particularly with Pivetta's departure.
Cooper Criswell will remain with the team, yet he’s not expected to take on a starting role, indicating the need for external acquisitions.
With Pivetta in free agency, the Red Sox face an important offseason in reevaluating their pitching staff and pursuing viable options to strengthen the rotation.
