Re-signing Alex Bregman is surely there, and the Red Sox have been blunt about that. Adding another power bat, too, is an obvious one. Perhaps a bit further down, though, is this: putting a true No. 2 starting pitcher behind Garrett Crochet in the rotation.<\/p>\n<p>Brayan Bello had a breakthrough year, but even at his best, he is likely a No. 3 option. Lucas Giolito was great at times, too, but the injury issues that flared up late in the year are a big question mark. Giolito can potentially be a free agent, too, and it\u2019s not clear whether the Red Sox will bring him back.<\/p>\n<p>Boston has much-improved depth in the rotation heading into 2026, both among veterans who got a taste of regular rotation spots last year\u2013Hunter Dobbins, Richard Fitts, Kyle Harrison\u2013and young prospects who could earn spots. We saw Payton Tolle and Connelly Early make exciting debuts in Boston, and the organization has made stocking the farm system with arms in the draft a priority.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s not clear No. 2 here. And that needs to change.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Red Sox Need a No. 2 Starter, and Joe Ryan Fits<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that the Red Sox were in talks with the Twins at the deadline on a package that would have brought back pitcher Joe Ryan, and there\u2019s been amply speculation that the two sides will re-ignite those talks this winter.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan qualifies as a quality No. 2 for Crochet. He is 29 was an All-Star this season, going 13-10 with a 3.65 ERA for the Twins. in 171.0 innings, he struck out 194 this season, sixth in the American League.<\/p>\n<p>It was especially hard to trade for Ryan this season because he does have one more year of team control, projected to be at $6 million by Spotrac.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Star Outfielder, Exciting Young Pitcher on the Way Out?<\/h2>\n<p>On \u201cThe Fenway Rundown\u201d podcast, starring longtime Red Sox insider Sean McAdam and beat writer Chris Cotillo of MassLive, the subject of a potential Ryan trade was raised.<\/p>\n<p>And according to McAdam, the starting price for a Ryan trade will be one of the Red Sox\u2019 trio of quality outfielders\u2013Jarren Duran, Wilyer Abreu or Ceddanne Rafaela\u2013plus one of the impressive young pitchers we saw in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you start a Joe Ryan package,\u201d McAdam said, \u201cwith one of your major-league outfielders and one of the pitchers that broke through\u2014whether that be a Dobbins or an Early or a Tolle, I know those are varying degrees of value. I think you probably can get something done for anybody, especially if you include Duran or Abreu or Rafaela. They\u2019re not trading (Roman) Anthony, they\u2019re not trading (Marcelo) Mayer or (Kristian) Campbell \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe you sell high on Early.
