breaking News: Red Sox’s Injuries opens Them up For $8.5 Million deal with………

The majority of the summer has been spent by the Boston Red Sox seeing other teams make significant trade and free agent acquisitions to improve their team. In the meanwhile, major owner John Henry’s needless budgetary restrictions have hindered Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, who has primarily stuck to mid-level deals.

His one moderate free-agent acquisition quickly came back to haunt him, as right-hander Lucas Giolito is anticipated to require elbow surgery that would finish the season. The Red Sox are in dire need of assistance and may look to outside sources to improve their pitching staff now that Giolito is out. There are rumors that Boston may make a deal and some hurlers that are remarkably talented for this time of year.

On the “Fenway Rundown” podcast on Friday, Chris Cotillo of Mass Live stated, “I do think that this opens them up for maybe a veteran on a short-term deal if Mike Clevinger or Michael Lorenzen is willing to sign for cheap.” “So far that has not hasn’t been the case, that hasn’t happened but it is also March 8th.” For the team’s long-term prospects, Jordan Montgomery is still the most obvious addition, but Boston hasn’t functioned rationally since the 2018 championship core was disassembled.Even still, it makes sense for the Red Sox to build for 2025 while keeping the 2024 product watchable. Giolito’s injury won’t change Henry’s opinion if the team wasn’t strong enough to warrant an investment in the past.

The Texas Rangers are allegedly interested in signing Montgomery, but that pursuit is almost entirely unrelated because he isn’t merely a replacement player to complete the current rotation. Montgomery needs to sign somewhere.
