Red Sox reportedly prefer this free-agent starting pitcher

The Red Sox appear to be looking to acquire a quality starting pitcher or two in the offseason, but they reportedly have a specific target in mind.

In a free agent class filled with several talented starting pitchers, such as Phillies hurler Aaron Nola and NL Cy Young winner Blake Snell, MLB.com’s Ian Browne said on the “ITM Podcast” that out of the American-born free agent starters, the Red Sox have their eyes on the Rangers’ Jordan Montgomery.

“From what I’ve heard, [the Red Sox] like Montgomery more than they like Snell, they like him more than they like Nola,” Browne said.
