The Red Sox aren\u2019t just throwing money around trying to run it back, however.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick Pivetta\u2019s market, from what I\u2019ve been told over the last couple of days, is, \u2018surprisingly strong,&#8217;\u201d MLB Network\u2019s Jon Morosi said on \u201cHot Stove\u201d on Tuesday. \u201cWhy is that? Well, even for someone who was about 6-12 this year in the win-loss column and (has) an ERA that doesn\u2019t wow you, his stuff is plus, and the peripheral numbers are very good\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPivetta, because of the underlying numbers \u2014 his (strikeouts) per nine is around 10.2 \u2014 that\u2019s the number that executives around the industry are really drawn to. They believe he can become an even more impactful pitcher than he has been to this point. Perhaps you get him out of Fenway Park and maybe he becomes even more effective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pivetta can either accept the qualifying offer \u2014 which is a one-year deal at that large number \u2014 or test his value and head to free agency. If he walks from Boston, the franchise gets a second-round compensatory draft pick.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe qualifying offer is now above $20 million, so for someone who made in the range of $7.5 million this past season, it\u2019s pretty enticing to just accept that QO right now, bank that money and stay in Boston,\u201d Morosi said. \u201cWe shall see in the days ahead what Nick Pivetta and his agents decide to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Red Sox now have the upper hand, as they can retain Pivetta for somewhere around what his value would have been on the open market, or obtain a second-round draft pick if he chooses to sign elsewhere.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Red Sox might have had a better read on the free agent market than we initially thought, especially when it comes to Nick Pivetta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":4907,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Red Sox Free Agent&#039;s Market &#039;Surprisingly Strong&#039;
