Lucas Giolito is among the top starting pitchers available on the free agent market. He delivered a superb comeback campaign for the Boston Red Sox last year after sitting out the entire 2024 season.
The Boston Red Sox's starting rotation certainly appears to be full right now, but that isn't the case with every team in the American League East right now with Spring Training just days away.
Even though the Tampa Bay Rays didn’t get the catcher they pursued, they have still been active. However, there is one last-minute move the Rays must make before spring training.
How many of the 36 MLB pitchers with 2,500 or more strikeouts in the Live-Ball Era (since 1920) can you name in five minutes?
Let the projections roll in. Some of them even include a prediction for who the Atlanta Braves could still add to the rotation. Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter put out projections for all 30 MLB teams.
The new MLB season brings opportunities as players head into their walk years and try to rebound from subpar performances. These 25 players stand out heading into 2026.
While the Detroit Tigers kick the tires on free-agent pitchers, they seem likely to hold on to star Tarik Skubal for the 2026 season. But acquiring pitching depth is one last-minute signing the Tigers must make before spring training.
February is here and that means that baseball is on the way. Spring Training will kick off across baseball this month in the coming days. Finally, we can say days and not months.
The 2025 Boston Red Sox still have a couple notable free agents floating around. A lot of the buzz these days is focused on starting pitcher Lucas Giolito, who was good for the Red Sox all year, but was seemingly boxed out by the upgrades Boston landed this offseason.
All indications are that the Baltimore Orioles have one more move for a starting pitcher up their sleeve this offseason. Despite adding Shane Baz to the front of the rotation, the club remains linked to several top free agent pitchers, most notably Framber Valdez, who remains unsigned as we approach February.
The Orioles are known to be looking for more starting pitching. They’ve been connected to Framber Valdez, Justin Verlander and Zac Gallen in recent weeks.
Right-hander Lucas Giolito is one of many free agents that have been left unsigned as the month of January comes to a close. The 31-year-old enjoyed a bounce-back year with the Boston Red Sox in 2025, going 10-4 with a 3.41 ERA in 26 starts.
America's favorite pastime has more memorable performances than any sport. As such, figuring out which pitchers had the best seasons ever is no easy task.
Although the Atlanta Braves have been active this offseason, their starting rotation remains untouched. That may change in the coming days.
The Boston Red Sox are fortunately in a very good place in the starting rotation. In fact, the Red Sox are actually loaded right now in the rotation. The Red Sox have Garrett Crochet, Ranger Suárez, Sonny Gray, Brayan Bello and Johan Oviedo.
With so many starting pitchers returning from serious injuries, the Braves really need to add to the rotation before the season begins. A true frontline arm would be ideal, but with most of those options — both in free agency and on the trade market — already off the table, an experienced veteran now feels like the most realistic path.
The Braves have made offseason additions in the bullpen, the infield and the outfield thus far, bringing in veterans Raisel Iglesias, Robert Suarez, Ha-Seong Kim, Mauricio Dubon, Jorge Mateo and Mike Yastrzemski via free agency or trade.
There is a lot of smoke out there in free agency right now. That shouldn't surprise anyone too much at this point. The Boston Red Sox's pitchers and catchers will report to Spring Training on Feb.
With spring training just two weeks away, top talent remains unsigned in the free agent market.
While the Boston Red Sox don't need to add any more starting pitching this offseason, there are plenty of options out there in free agency, including a prominent member of the 2025 team.
It certainly sounds like the market is starting to pick up steam involving a prominent member of the 2025 Boston Red Sox. Lucas Giolito was a key cog in the starting rotation for Boston in 2025.
The Boston Red Sox's starting rotation is overflowing with talent, which certainly leaves little room for a potential reunion with Lucas Giolito. Boston very well might not have made the playoffs last year without Giolito, who went 10-4 with a 3.41 ERA in 26 starts.
It's odd to be so comfortable moving on from a pitcher who went 10-4 with a 3.41 ERA, but the Boston Red Sox are far beyond the need for Lucas Giolito.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito declined a $19 million mutual option, triggering a $1.5 million buyout, and is set to head to free agency, the Boston Globe reported Monday.
