As Red Sox seek pitching, Craig Breslow hopes to produce more homegrown arms too

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:29:36 GMT

NASHVILLE — While the Red Sox have yet to make a major move, chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Monday the club’s top priority this offseason remains bolstering the starting rotation.They could add starters through free agency, through a trade, or both. They could add two starters, just one, or even three or more. If they go the free agent route, Breslow said they’re comfortable making the kind of investment it will take to land a big fish. If they go for a trade, they’re also willing to part with some of their top position player prospects if it means reeling in someone with multiple years of team control.Given Boston’s roster situation, those potential external reinforcements are likely to make the biggest impact, but Breslow also made it clear he hopes the Red Sox can start producing more internal reinforcements as well.Since starting with the Red Sox in late October, Breslow has already taken meaningful steps to revamp the organization’s pitc...
