The Boston Red Sox were reportedly close to signing pitcher Shane Bieber, who ultimately agreed to a one-year deal with the Cleveland Guardians. Despite Boston’s aggressive pursuit, Bieber opted to return to his current team for $14 million. The Red Sox have been vocal about their need to improve their rotation and have been linked to other pitchers such as Corbin Burnes and Max Fried. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow emphasized the importance of landing a top starter this offseason to raise the team’s ceiling. Boston’s pursuit of pitching talent may also depend on whether they can secure slugger Juan Soto, who is a highly sought-after free agent. The Red Sox are looking to compete in the American League East next season and are exploring various options to strengthen their rotation. With Bieber off the table, Boston will continue to search for ways to bolster their pitching staff for the upcoming season.
