The Red Sox still need relief pitching help, and MLB’s bullpen market lost arguably its best player Sunday.
Tanner Scott, who was rumored to be of interest to Boston, reportedly will join the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers on a four-year contract. Scott, a 2024 All-Star, potentially could have stabilized the Red Sox’s bullpen — perhaps even as a lights-out closer.
So, where can Craig Breslow and company go from here? Not long after the Scott news broke, MassLive’s Chris Cotillo made a prediction about how Boston will improve its reliever corps.
“I’m gonna make a prediction that the Sox land either (Carlo) Estévez, (Kirby) Yates, (David) Robertson, (Tommy) Kahnle or (Kyle) Finnegan,” Cotillo posted to X.
It’s unclear how those pitchers rank among Red Sox executives in terms of interest. But Cotillo suggested giving a short-term deal with a high average annual value to Estevez, Yates, Roberton or Kahnle “would make a lot of sense in an effort to add a veteran righty to a pretty strong group.”

Boston also could explore the trade market in an attempt to bolster its relief pitching. And if the Red Sox already are talking to the Cardinals about Nolan Arenado, they might want to ask about another stud in St. Louis.

As a Red Sox insider, I have some exciting news to share with you all. There are rumblings within the organization that Boston is looking to add another pitcher to their rotation. While there are a few options on the table, I predict that the Red Sox will sign one of these pitchers in the upcoming weeks.
1. Justin Verlander: The veteran right-hander is a proven ace and would provide a much-needed boost to the Red Sox rotation. Verlander has a wealth of postseason experience and would be a valuable addition to the team.
2. Marcus Stroman: Stroman is a talented pitcher who has had success in the American League East with the Toronto Blue Jays. His versatility and competitive nature would make him a great fit for the Red Sox.
3. Carlos Rodon: Rodon is coming off a strong season with the Chicago White Sox and could be a solid addition to the Red Sox rotation. His left-handed arm could provide a different look for opposing hitters.
While there are no guarantees in baseball, I believe that the Red Sox will make a move to bolster their pitching staff in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more updates as the offseason progresses.
