The Boston Red Sox could look to add a starting pitcher or two this offseason.<\/p>\n

Garrett Crochet and Brayan Bello stand atop Boston\u2019s rotation, but the Red Sox could look to add a solid No. 3 starter. Major League Baseball analyst Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report named the Red Sox as a potential suitor for San Diego Padres right-hander Dylan Cease in free agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrayan Bello has blossomed into a legitimate rotation fixture, while the trio of No. 5 options above rather surprisingly tossed its way into the October mix after spending most of the year in the minors,\u201d Miller wrote. \u201cIf they believe in at least one of those guys and expect Kutter Crawford to be back in the mix in 2026, maybe they don\u2019t worry about signing a co-ace for Crochet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have more than enough room in the budget to make multiple big signings, though. And if they can\u2019t adequately replace the bats of Alex Bregman and Trevor Story if those infielders opt out, they could instead just focus on making the rotation stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cease is a free agent after finishing his final year of team control. The 29-year-old went 8-12 with a 4.55 ERA in 32 starts last season and would be a good No. 3 starter for Boston.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox are also likely to add to their rotation this offseason, according to Craig Breslow.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one will sit in this seat and say that there\u2019s enough pitching in the organization,\u201d Breslow\u00a0said at a press conference\u00a0on Oct. 6.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we saw that in the second half and we could list out the pitchers that were on the IL and it just means that depth is so critically important. So, like I said, when we talk about pursuing opportunities to improve the team, bringing in (additional) pitching certainly is one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
