Dallas Keuchel

Dallas Keuchel was a guy that I hoped the Red Sox would court during this past offseason. However, that wouldn’t be the plan and Keuchel would actually sit out a chunk of the first half. he would eventually sign with the Braves for the remainder of the 2019 season. Dallas spent seven of his eight career years in Houston where he would grow into a dominant partnership with Justin Verlander.

When you look at Keuchel’s numbers you won’t find anything that jumps off the screen. But he is the definition of consistency as his numbers rarely waver in either direction from season to season. Dallas is earning $13M this year with the Braves which is well under the salary of soon to be free agent Rick Porcello.

Keuchel would be a good addition to the staff as he would provide that foundation towards the back end of the starting rotation to balance out Chris Sale and David Price. Not to mention that it looks like he can be signed for a reasonable price which is exactly what the Red Sox are looking for with all of their budgetary woes.
