The Boston Red Sox have put together quite an interesting offseason this winter. Boston was one of the top teams in pursuit of superstar Juan Soto, but the Red Sox weren’t willing to spend the $765 million it took to get the job done.

Since then, the Red Sox have added Garrett Crochet and Walker Buehler to the starting pitching rotation. With the addition of this pair, free-agent pitcher Nick Pivetta could be the odd man out.

Ryan Finkelstein of Just Baseball recently projected Pivetta to bolt from Boston and sign a $40 million deal with the rival Toronto Blue Jays.

“With top free agent starters Corbin Burnes, Sean Manaea, and Walker Buehler all coming off the board in this update, the market for starting pitching is starting to get thin,” Finkelstein wrote. “Outside of Jack Flaherty, Nick Pivetta now stands out as the top free-agent starter left for teams looking for rotation help.

“If there is one team that might be desperate enough to not care about the draft capital at this stage of the offseason, it’s the Toronto Blue Jays. The Jays have struck out on most major free agents, with a lot of their pursued targets having been attached to the qualifying offer.”

The Blue Jays need to add talent as much as anybody. They’ve whiffed on adding players like Soto, Max Fried, and Burnes.

Pivetta isn’t quite the talent as these other players, but he could be a fine addition alongside a slew of other free agents. The Blue Jays need to make some additions and it would make sense to take a flier on the Red Sox’s righty.
