Chris Sale, David Price, and Rick Porcello have all been masterful for the Red Sox at various points in the past few years.
Sale – who is being eased back into the rotation while recovering from a serious shoulder injury – is currently a favorite for the Cy Young. Price has guided the Red Sox to victory in 18 of his last 22 starts and has lowered his ERA to 3.53 in the process. Porcello, who won the Cy Young in 2016, has been durable and at times dominant.
While Boston’s three top starters have all achieved plenty of success with the team, they also share a less encouraging common thread.
