As the shock of the Garrett Crochet trade wares off, it’s clear that there’s still more work to do with this Red Sox roster. And we’re not just talking about bullpen help or a right-handed bat, either.

Will that second starter be former Cy Young-winner Corbin Burnes? His market seems to have stalled in the wake of the deals for Blake Snell and Max Fried. While the Red Sox reportedly remain interested, the Giants and Blue Jays remain the consensus favorites.
