Boston will be busy looking to add multiple pieces this winter<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Sep<\/div>\n
\n

The Boston Red Sox will enter the offseason with a few clear holes to fill and plenty of money to do so if the team opts to.<\/p>\n

While this is the case, not every hole will require a massive contract.\u00a0Boston’s\u00a0wish list should include at least one frontline starting pitcher this winter, one or two right-handed bats, and at least one or two high-leverage relievers.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox’s biggest expenditures — through free agency or trade — likely will be for a starter or righty bat. Boston doesn’t need to spend heavily on the bullpen to add significant pieces. The Red Sox will need to put a focus on the spot, though. The bullpen arguably is the biggest reason why the club struggled in the second half of the season and missed the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Boston needs to add multiple pieces this winter — especially with Kenley Jansen expected to leave.<\/p>\n

A high-leverage reliever should be a priority this winter, and one who would make a lot of sense is two-time All-Star Kirby Yates. He spent the 2024 season as a member of the Texas Rangers and had the best season of his career while earning his second All-Star nod. He logged a 1.17 ERA in 61 2\/3 innings pitched to go with 33 saves.<\/p>\n

Boston wouldn’t necessarily need him to be a closer with Liam Hendriks on the team as well, but at least some high-leverage role. He is now 37 years old and, because of his age, is\u00a0projected to get a deal worth just over $4 million this winter for one year. A deal like that wouldn’t break the bank. It would fill a massive hole while leaving money to spend elsewhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
