Free agency is in full swing and the Winter Meetings are just days away. Today the Red Sox re-signed Nathan Eovaldi and are gearing up for next season. With that said, what should the starting rotation look like in 2019?
Going into the offseason the Red Sox had some major free agent questions to answer on the pitching front. With the return of Nathan Eovaldi pending a physical on the horizon, we now have an idea of what the starting rotation may look like.
I’m not going to add in random free agents that aren’t affiliated with the Red Sox or even anyone on the market. The Red Sox had a dominant starting rotation not only in the regular season but through October as well.
Today I’ll be looking at pitchers that are in-house already with the squad. Now, I’m sure some of you may not be shocked at who I choose and frankly, I don’t blame you.
The big thing I’m going to look at is where the puzzle pieces fit best in 2019. With a lot of moving pieces from Opening Day to the end of the World Series, I can see some shuffling to the rotation we came to know in 2018.
With the core of that rotation returning for 2019 I am anxious to see what Alex Cora will do. So with all that said, let’s get to the fun and see where 2019 can take us!
