The Boston Red Sox's addition of Sonny Gray was an excellent start to their pitching staff overhaul this offseason, but it obviously can't be the last move they make.
At this point, the need for a "No. 2 starter" has become a rallying cry among Red Sox fans. At 36 years old, Gray could provide a fine facsimile of such an archetype in 2026, though he's better suited for mid-rotation duties at this point in his career.
One of the most frequently names attached to the Red Sox this winter has been NPB star Tatsuya Imai, a 27-year-old right-hander with electric stuff.
