It would be a major shock if the Boston Red Sox weren\u2019t able to add a top-tier starting pitcher into the mix this winter.<\/p>\n

Boston\u2019s rotation impressed in 2024 led by Tanner Houck, Brayan Bello, Kutter Crawford, and Nick Pivetta. Pivetta now is a free agent and it seems like he is going to end up playing elsewhere. Lucas Giolito is expected to return after missing the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

Now, the Red Sox will have to add one more starter and they desperately need a left-handed hurler. The top option in free agency seems to be Max Fried after Blake Snell recently signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers. On the trade market, Chicago White Sox ace Garrett Crochet clearly is the top dog.<\/p>\n

Boston has\u00a0constantly been linked\u00a0to Crochet and it seems like the two sides would make sense as trade partners. The Red Sox already pulled off one blockbuster deal with the White Sox for a star lefty in Chris Sale. Why not make another one?<\/p>\n

FanSided\u2019s Zach Pressnell put together a list of\u00a0possible \u201cemergency\u201d options\u00a0just in case the Red Sox miss out on Crochet and one player he suggested was Dodgers star Jack Flaherty.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, Flaherty was high school teammates with Red Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito,\u201d Pressnell said. \u201cGiolito and Flaherty have kept a solid friendship all these years later and I can only assume that Giolito will be in Flaherty\u2019s ear trying to recruit him to Boston. Besides that, Boston just needs to add talent to the starting rotation. While they may be looking for a lefty, two of the best options are off the board.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time for the Red Sox to push the emergency plan button and begin trying to bring in talent regardless of the true fit the front office is looking for. Flaherty won\u2019t demand a contract as large as the other two players on this list. He\u2019s not likely to be pursued by the incumbent Dodgers anymore either.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flaherty impressed in 2024 with a 3.17 ERA in 28 starts. He is available and Spotrac currently is projecting him to receive a\u00a0three-year, $63 million deal. Would it make sense if that contract was with Boston?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
