Red Sox will not be be bringing any of those four you mentioned to Fenway. They will be searching for second/third tier starters. It’s taken yrs to get this minor league development situation headed in the right direction. Those 4 mentioned will cost a price Bloom will not deal with. Face it man what you say and what fans think and say has absolutely no skin in what John Henry and Bloom decide for what’s best for this Organization headed forward. This is a last place team in a terrific AL East why sell your minor league system to finish 4/5th. This year with Duran,Casas,Murphy and others is for next yr and the yr beyond. As u know in MA the Arm Chair GM’s have no idea when it comes to Baseball Economics and how to develop your system.

It's not going to cost an arm and a leg to fetch the four pitchers I suggested. Two are rentals and the other two (Stroman and Eddie) have player options after the season. Plus, they have a pretty strong abundance of good prospects that they could afford to deal someone like Yorke or Drohan or Gonzalez without it decapitating the farm.

Rentals these days cost you. Red Sox are are far away from getting into postseason even with getting one or two of these guys. Don’t forget the rest of the East will be shopping as well and to me the only team that Red Sox have any strength over is Tampa in terms of what they will give up. Meaning those three other east teams will do what they have to do to in their minds better their roster. Bloom and his mind is in rebuild mind he knew and Henry knew they had a 4th place team for 2023 and they know Red Sox nation fans alway always have the right answers in which they don’t that’s for sure. I see this team ending up around 500 where that lands them I’d say 4/5th. I also wouldn’t say”Abundance” to the average fan like yourself yes it’s true but to evaluaters and myself personally they are in the 16/20th range in MLB.
