Cooper Criswell's pitching depth offers the Red Sox flexibility, as they will utilize a fourth option year, enabling him to shift easily between Triple-A and the majors.
Major League Baseball standardly allows three option years for players, but a fourth can be granted if a player exhausts their options in under five professional seasons.
Criswell moved from being just a back-end starter or swingman to becoming a valuable option for the Red Sox, enhancing their pitching depth significantly.
With a 4.08 ERA and strong metrics, including a low walk rate and high ground-ball percentage, Criswell impressed the Red Sox, securing his role.
