November marked the start of the MLB offseason, and Boston Red Sox supporters had good reason to think the winter would bring some major additions. Although it hasn’t happened yet, if they sign free agency starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery, things might.
Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report released updated projections for the unsigned players that were still available as of February 18. When it came to Montgomery, he thought Boston would finally pull off a dramatic trade to acquire the southpaw.
Miller stated, “The Boston Red Sox have an estimated $54 million to spend.” They are in dire need of a new starting pitcher. From his previous stint with the Yankees, Montgomery has demonstrated success in the AL East. The worst part is that his wife supposedly.
While Red Sox chairman Tom Werner was settling in as Boston’s head baseball executive, Craig Breslow made a pledge he probably wishes he could take back. On November 2, he informed the media, notably Alex Speier of The Boston Globe, that the team will work “full throttle” to bolster the squad in time for 2024.
However, Boston’s biggest move since spring training started was signing starting pitcher Lucas Giolito to a two-year, $38.5 million contract. Both Red Sox fans and players have had to endure a tough offseason.
Rafael Devers, the third baseman, addressed the media on February 20. His remarks about the club’s inaction served as a warning to the front staff. Ian Browne of MLB.com obtained quotes from the left-handed hitter via a translator.
Devers stated, “They have to change in order to give us players a better chance to win.” “I think they need to change in order to help us win. Everyone in this organization wants to win, and we as players want to win as well.
