Although the Boston Red Sox have received criticism from both fans and staff for having a disappointing offseason, they have still made some noteworthy acquisitions.
While it wouldn’t significantly increase their chances of competing in the AL East, FanNation’s Insider Patrick McAvoy One such move was anticipated by the Red Sox, who described Boston as the “logical landing spot” for pitcher Zack Greinke, a six-time All-Star.
“It’s true that Greinke has changed, but he’s still a veteran who can still be of assistance and is searching for a new opportunity,” McAvoy said. “Greinke could be the kind of player Boston brings in to contend for the No. 5 spot in the rotation if they are unable to acquire a pitcher at the top of the rotation.
He has a 3.49 ERA, 2,979 strikeouts, and 225 victories in 541 career starts. He did, however, have the worst season of his career in 2023, going 30 starts for the Kansas City Royals with a 5.06 ERA. In the event that Greinke can replicate his 2022 performance, which included 26 starts with a 3.68 ERA, the Red Sox could benefit greatly from having him near the back of their rotation.
