Most of the offseason rumors surrounding Craig Breslow and the Red Sox’ plans this winter have usually revolved around potential bidding wars for front-line starters like Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, and Jordan Montgomery.
But based on a report from Alex Speier of The Boston Globe, it seems like the Red Sox are keeping all options open as they try to bolster a lackluster starting rotation.
While most of Speier’s latest Red Sox story revolved around Boston’s pursuit of Yamamoto, he added that the team also reached out to the Seattle Mariners — a team stacked with young, controllable starting pitching.
