With the World Series at its end and winter fast approaching, the offseason rumor mill will soon begin churning. The Boston Red Sox are expected to be active in both the free agent and trade markets, and top-tier pitching should be on their radar.
Boston attempted to trade for Minnesota Twins starter Joe Ryan at the trade deadline, and many sources believe it could try to finish what it started this offseason, although it isn't confirmed that he'll be available. Ryan would be a clear No. 2 in the Sox's rotation behind Garrett Crochet, and after Brayan Bello's advancement in 2025, their top three would be deadly.
