During the 2019 season, 15 different pitchers made at least one start for the Boston Red Sox. Most of those contributors will be back next season, but with health always a toss-up and 32 of the team’s total starts off the board now that Rick Porcello is a free agent, there is a glaring need on the mound.
For teams like the Red Sox, there’s good news. This year’s free agent class has a couple high-profile starting pitchers on offer. Sparked by their sensational work in the postseason, Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg are both set to make a ton of cash.
