Alright, let’s get the obvious out of the way, shall we? I know the reaction of most people upon seeing that headline. You see “six-man rotation” on a website focused on the Red Sox, and you instantly say to yourself with a chuckle, “Do they even have six starting pitchers?” First off, stop talking to yourself. We’re all worried about you. Second, solid joke, even if it’s a little bit obvious. But to get to the crux of truth in the joke, you’re not wrong! The Red Sox literally don’t have six viable starters right now. The sixth starter as things stand today is probably Chris Mazza, and while he seems like a fine human being that is not a role for which he is suited at this point.
We could see some six-man rotation turns in 2021
