Part 4/7:
Despite making this major trade for Crochet, analysts believe that the Red Sox are not done yet. Discussions hinted at potential pursuits for other top-end pitchers, including Corbin Burns or even reenvisioning their strategy for players like Max Fried. With a refreshed pitching rotation featuring Crochet, and potentially adding another ace, the Red Sox could position themselves among the American League's elite once again.
Additionally, the relatively low salary Crochet commands opens up further possibilities for the Red Sox to strengthen their roster, particularly in the bullpen. Keeping an eye on contesting teams like the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles, the Red Sox need to capitalize on this opportunity to close the competitive gap.
