- The Boston Red Sox are facing challenges after Lucas Giolit’s potentially season-ending injury, which includes a UCL tear and flexor strain that may require Tommy John surgery. Giolito, a talented right-handed pitcher who struck out over 200 hitters last season, was expected to have a promising 2024 season as a starter. Manager Alex Cora has responded fiercely to critics of his team in the AL East amid this difficult news. As Giolito’s injury remains a significant concern, speculation about the Red Sox’s future is intensifying in the rumor mill.
Blake Snell, a two-time Cy Young winner who last pitched for the Padres, is a free agent rumored to be open to a short-term deal. The Yankees’ reported $150 million offer is no longer on the table, leaving Snell in a state of uncertainty. If the Red Sox are willing to make a competitive offer, they could potentially sign him.
