In 2023, Boston’s staff posted quality starts just 29-percent of the time, one of the lowest marks in the league. Addressing that will come in various forms, but free agency offers the quickest path for the Red Sox to change the dynamic in 2024.
The news on that front is somehow both good and bad, as baseball insider Jon Heyman explained on MLB Network during a Wednesday interview.
“Fortunately there are a lot of very good pitchers on the market,” said Heyman.
