The Boston Red Sox once again enter a season with pitching depth for days. Unlike last year, they have more top-end talent, though.
Heading into 2025, the Red Sox boasted Garrett Crochet at the top of the rotation but didn’t have a clear No. 2 starter. They had a ton of guys who could be back-end of the rotation starters, but not much at the top.
Heading into 2026, it’s quite a bit different. Crochet is still there, followed by Ranger Suárez and Sonny Gray, Brayan Bello, Johan Oviedo, Payton Tolle, Connelly Early, Patrick Sandoval, Kutter Crawford, and more follow behind those three.
