"Particularly someone that we feel like can pitch alongside or slot in behind Garrett and start a playoff game for us."
"Last season, [Brayan] Bello played that role for a majority of the season. Lucas [Giolito] played that role for a majority of the season."
"Because of the depth that we've built up over the last couple of years, we feel pretty good about just overall starting pitching. Kind of maybe Nos. 3ish through 10ish."
Boston reached the postseason for the first time since 2021. The roster features an influx of young talent but requires offseason upgrades to build on October momentum. The organization prioritizes acquiring a top starting pitcher able to pair with Garrett Crochet or slot in behind him and start playoff games. Brayan Bello and Lucas Giolito filled that role at times, though Bello struggled late and in the postseason and Giolito declined his mutual option and will be a free agent. The club believes it has depth from roughly Nos. 3 through 10 but still seeks a true No. 2 arm.
