Potential offseason target: Danny Duffy

As the roster currently stands, the Boston Red Sox don’t necessarily need to add any more starting pitchers to their MLB roster for 2022. With Nathan Eovaldi, Chris Sale and Nick Pivetta locked in and tons of depth with new guys (Michael Wacha, Rich Hill, James Paxton eventually) and younger pitchers (Tanner Houck, Connor Seabold, maybe Garrett Whitlock), if the Red Sox do absolutely nothing else before the 2022 season starts once the lockout ends, they have all the makings of a perfectly fine MLB rotation.

With that written, if there is any position that can never have enough depth, it’s starting pitching, which becomes doubly true considering some of the uncertainty surrounding recently injured players like Sale and Paxton.
