The Boston Red Sox made a flurry of roster moves on the final day before the indefinite lockout. The big splash came in the final hour, with Renfroe being shipped out for a familiar face in Jackie Bradley Jr. and a couple of promising prospects. However, there were multiple pitching additions as well, with Rich Hill and James Paxton joining Michael Wacha as pitching depth for the 2022 season.
Hill shows promise, but Wacha is merely a depth option and Paxton will not be ready until midseason. The Red Sox have yet to make a sizeable addition that fills the void Eduardo Rodriguez left behind when he signed his deal with the Detroit Tigers.
