Red Sox hope their offseason has produced a deeper pitching staff and (maybe) a 6-man rotation

Associated Press  

BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox, who struggled to come up with five dependable starting pitchers last season, are considering a six-man rotation in 2025. “We have had some conversations,” Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow said Monday in his first comments since trading for starter Garrett Crochet and signing free agents Patrick Sandoval and Walker Buehler. But the schedule early in the season potentially lends itself to maybe using a sixth starter.” The Red Sox entered last season down two potential aces, having traded eventual NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale to Atlanta just before Lucas Giolito blew out his elbow in spring training, causing him to miss the entire season. “We’ve got to feel pretty good about where we are now.” Breslow said he now turns his attention to balancing out Boston’s lefty-heavy lineup and shoring up the bullpen. “When you have really good young players, I don’t think it’s a surprise other teams may ask about him.” Trading Casas would allow the Red Sox to move Rafael Devers, who has committed 141 errors in 951 games at third base, across the diamond.
