(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)   Red Sox fans have been put through an excruciating offseason that has been marred by ownership outright refusing to spend money despite being one of the league’s biggest-market franchises, and now another issue has popped up that makes the outlook for this season look even more daft. One of Boston’s biggest strengths in 2023 was the back end of its bullpen, which featured strong seasons from a couple of newcomers to the team in closer Kenley Jansen and setup man Chris Martin. The former’s immediate future is becoming a concern, as Ian Browne of MLB.com has r ..read more

(Photo by Omar Rawlings/Getty Images)   The Boston Red Sox are hoping for a bounce-back season in 2024. Each of the past two seasons, the Red Sox have won 78 games and finished in last place in the AL East. So the Red Sox decided to be aggressive at the start of free agency to improve their team. One player they brought in was starting pitcher Lucas Giolito. He has had some good seasons during his career and was an upgrade for the Red Sox. Unfortunately, he will not throw one inning this year for them. Giolito suffered a UCL injury in spring training, so he had to undergo surgery and will ..read more

(Photo by Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images)   Last week wasn’t particularly good for the Boston Red Sox or Lucas Giolito. Just a few weeks after giving him a multi-year contract, the right-hander came down with a couple of elbow injuries. He was diagnosed with a partially torn UCL in his pitching elbow and also a flexor strain, as it if wasn’t enough. The team was asking for more opinions and debating between rest/rehab and surgery. They have picked the latter, and the pitcher is now out for the season. “Boston Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito will undergo elbow surgery on Tuesday, per @PeteAbe ..read more

(Photo by Rich Gagnon/Getty Images)   The Boston Red Sox’s rotation is currently in shambles. Yes, they are really suffering after Lucas Giolito’s recent elbow injury, but it was an area of need even before he went down. They failed to bring back James Paxton, and then traded Chris Sale so they had to see this coming. While they try to solve a patchwork staff for 2024, they signed one of their young stars for the long term. Per Kiley McDaniel of ESPN, Brayan Bello agreed to a six-year, $55 million extension with Boston. The owner of a 4.24 ERA in 157 innings last year, Bello will now try ..read more

(Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)   The Boston Red Sox just lost Lucas Giolito, the only free-agent pitcher they had signed this offseason, to an elbow injury. They also traded Chris Sale and let James Paxton go via free agency, so yes: there is a hole in their rotation. While they look for several different avenues to fill the staff with quality arms, they are reportedly close to extending one of their best young pitchers: Brayan Bello. “The Red Sox and Brayan Bello are in ‘advanced talks’ on a long-term extension, per @alexspeier,” B/R Walk-Off tweeted.

(Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)   The Boston Red Sox are hoping to have a bounce-back season in 2024. Each of the last two years the Red Sox finished last in the AL East with a 78-84 record. Yet, the Red Sox made a few moves this offseason in hopes of returning to relevancy. One player the Red Sox picked up was starting pitcher Lucas Giolito. He was expected to make an impact in their starting rotation. But, that has been derailed after suffering a serious elbow injury in spring training. Giolito is expected to miss the beginning of the season and maybe much more. Boston should now be ..read more

(Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)   Elbow injuries are the most feared by pitchers. They have the potential to knock out a hurler for months, even more than a full season in some cases. Boston Red Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito, who joined the team just a few weeks ago on a two-year, $38.5 million deal as a free agent, now faces an extended absence because of an elbow injury. Per MLB insider Jeff Passan, imaging showed that the talented Giolito likely has a partially torn UCL and a flexor strain on top of that. There is a chance he needs surgery, and if it’s Tommy John, he faces betwee ..read more

Red Sox Take A Chance On Veteran Slugger

(Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)   The Boston Red Sox didn’t have a very good offseason. They needed to add pitching after losing Chris Sale and James Paxton, 40 percent of their rotation. So far, they brought in Lucas Giolito for the rotation, but that’s it. They have been in talks with Jordan Montgomery, but are waiting for his price to come down and that’s not a given. In the meantime, none of the Red Sox starters project to have an ERA lower than 4.29, according to FanGraphs. They at least turned their attention to the lineup and are reportedly bringing in a reliable veteran slugger ..read more

(Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)   The Boston Red Sox are one team that is flying under the radar this offseason. That is because the Red Sox have not done much to improve during the winter. But, there is still time for them to make a few impact moves. One player who is still looking for a job is left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery. He pitched very well last season for the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers. His contributions with the Rangers helped lead them to the World Series. Montgomery had a 2.79 ERA in 11 starts with Texas. Now at 31 years old, he is a left-handed starter t ..read more
