However, their pitching has been their kryptonite, as they have been hot and cold all season.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>With the trade deadline now passed, the Sox don\u2019t really have many options to help fix that. However, one option might be crazy enough to work. According to Fansided\u2019s Zachary Rotman, the Sox should bring up Payton Tolle, their top pitching prospect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Red Sox predicted to fall into familiar trap by adding veteran three-time Cy Young winner Justin Verlander in 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTolle might not have generated many headlines outside of Boston ahead of the season, but his stock has soared rapidly to the point where he&#8217;s now the No. 28 overall prospect on MLB Pipeline&#8217;s updated top-100 list,\u201d Rotman wrote. \u201cThe 22-year-old southpaw began the season in High-A but has worked his way up to Triple-A and has a 3.31 ERA with 119 strikeouts in 18 appearances and 81.2 innings overall. Oh yeah, and this season is his first taste of pro ball. He&#8217;s been nothing short of dominant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tolle would definitely be a major help to either the bullpen, or even the starting pitching. Making Tolle a starter would probably be the right move, as the back end of the rotation needs some help, and he could do that.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Tolle did start the year in High-A, so promoting him to the majors might be a little far-fetched. However, like Rotman said, he\u2019s been dominant, and dominance is what the Sox need in this final stretch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This would be just the kind of move that could spark something for the Sox come October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":76905,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[742,1889,114,2947,2946,2477],"class_list":["post-76904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-justin-verlander","tag-payton-tolle","tag-red-sox","tag-sox","tag-top-pitching","tag-zachary-rotman"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
