The return of Lucas Giolito in 2025 will help, but Cease would take the Red Sox&#8217;s rotation to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All of a sudden, Boston has two potential Cy Young candidates to lead the way \u2014 and two of\u00a0MLB&#8217;s most dominant arms. Both Cease and Crochet pack a major punch in the strikeout department. Whereas Crochet has some real durability concerns, Cease is among the most dependable workhorses in baseball.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If any team in baseball has the pieces to comfortably swing a trade for Cease, it&#8217;s the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<p>Boston has one of the best farm systems in the game as well as a lot of expendable talent at the big league level. The Red Sox haven&#8217;t spent much money, so it wouldn&#8217;t be a shock to see them sign a player like Anthony Santander or Alex Bregman this winter.<\/p>\n<div id=\"dfp-ad-inarticle2-wrapper\" class=\"dfp-tag-wrapper dfp-ad-lazy dfp-ad-count\">\n<div id=\"dfp-ad-inarticle2\" class=\"dfp-tag-wrapper mpu-only unstick\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/22541732127\/newsweek\/inarticle2_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Acquiring Cease would be the icing on the cake.
