The Boston Red Sox are looking for pitching help, and they may turn to free agency to get it.
Japanese league lefty Shu014dta Imanaga and former Cleveland Guardians right-hander Lucas Giolito have been connected with the Red Sox in free agency, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman.
The Red Sox have also been tied to World Series star Jordan Montgomery, per Heyman.
James Paxton, who put up a 7-5 record in 19 starts for the Red Sox last season on a $4 million player option, also "has a decent chance to return," according to Heyman.
