Giolito's two-year contract with the Red Sox is worth $38.5 million and includes an opt-out clause after the 2024 season. Giolito is poised to receive an $18 million salary in 2024 and would receive a $1 million buyout if exercising his opt-out clause. Should the 29-year-old decide to remain under contract with the Red Sox, his salary in 2025 would be $19 million. That also would amount to obtaining a conditional option for the 2026 season.
The Red Sox are hoping to bolster their rotation with a bounce-back candidate. The Southern California native went a combined 8-15 with a 4.88 ERA, 5.27 FIP, 1.31 WHIP and 10 strikeouts per nine in 184.1 innings pitched across 33 starts between the Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Angels and Cleveland Guardians.
