His prediction for the Red Sox: Signing left-hander Max Fried to a six-year, $175 million contract.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rotation was solid enough in 2024, ranking seventh in the majors in ERA, but Tanner Houck was the only regular with an ERA under 4.00 and Nick Pivetta is a free agent,\u201d Schoenfield wrote. \u201cNone of their starters are left-handed, however, and Fried is a good fit for Fenway Park since he induces grounders so often.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There were a few self-imposed guidelines for the exercise \u2014 a player can only sign once, each team only can be used for one big move and free agents can\u2019t re-sign with their most recent club \u2014 but Schoenfield zeroed in on Boston\u2019s rotation. That\u2019s the Red Sox\u2019s most glaring weakness ahead of the 2025 season, with the bullpen also an area of need.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Red Sox could really make a splash by signing outfielder Juan Soto, a legitimate superstar and one of the most coveted free agents ever. Schoenfield predicted Soto will land elsewhere, though, leaving Boston to focus on bolstering its pitching staff.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An ESPN MLB writer offered a prediction for &#8220;one big move&#8221; the Boston Red Sox could make this offseason ahead of the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":12099,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
