Spring training for the Boston Red Sox, involving pitchers and catchers, is set to begin in less than a month. With limited time remaining for impactful moves before baseball activities commence, the Red Sox have already added players like Lucas Giolito, Vaughn Grissom, and Tyler O’Neill during the current offseason. However, they need to compensate for the lost contributions of key players such as Alex Verdugo, Chris Sale, Justin Turner, and Adam Duvall.
While the team has internal options ready to step up, an insider in Major League Baseball (MLB) suggests that the Red Sox might not be finished and could potentially make a significant move before the winter concludes.
Jon Heyman shared his thoughts on Boston’s remaining offseason activity during a live stream on Wednesday with Bleacher Report.
Jon Heyman expressed his belief that the Boston Red Sox still have a significant move to make in the offseason. About a month ago, he had already predicted that the Red Sox would make a substantial move, and he continues to stand by that prediction. One area where the team could use reinforcement is in adding another starting pitcher to ease the burden on young arms and provide depth to the rotation.
The potential addition for the Boston Red Sox remains uncertain, but there are various possibilities. It could involve bringing in another pitcher to strengthen the rotation, providing support to young arms. Alternatively, the team might be considering adding an impact bat, possibly slotting into the No. 3 spot between Rafael Devers and Triston Casas. The specific move is yet to be revealed, and the team has multiple avenues to explore if they are indeed looking to make further additions this winter.
Jon Heyman maintains the belief that the Boston Red Sox will make another move before the start of the season. As Opening Day against the Seattle Mariners approaches in just over two months, the team is actively shaping its roster, and fans can anticipate further developments in the coming weeks.
