"Giolito has a 3.63 earned run average and a strikeout percentage of 19.6%, which is his lowest since a poor 2018 season."
"In his last 12 starts, Giolito has a 2.34 ERA while averaging over six innings per appearance, indicating a return to form."
"He has a good chance to reach 140 innings if he can average just under six innings in his next six starts."
Marcus Stroman's option was affected by an injury, leading to his release by the Yankees. Lucas Giolito of the Red Sox has a $14MM club option that turns into a $19MM mutual option if he pitches 140 innings. Giolito currently has 106 2/3 innings over 19 starts and needs an average of under six innings per start in his next six appearances. His recent performance includes a 2.34 ERA in his last 12 starts, suggesting he is becoming a durable mid-rotation pitcher again.
