If the Red Sox want to make a second-half push for the postseason, they’re going to have to add some reinforcements behind Garrett Crochet in the rotation.
Even with the recent strong play of Lucas Giolito (0.83 ERA in his last five starts) and Brayan Bello (2.83 ERA in his last nine outings), Boston could significantly solidify its pitching corps by adding a proven No. 2 option to that group for the stretch.
As such, it should come as little surprise that Boston has now been linked to one of the top potential starters on the market in Twins righty Joe Ryan.
