The Boston Red Sox are actively seeking to bolster their starting rotation this offseason, having recently acquired Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox. They have shown interest in young pitchers from the Seattle Mariners, including Bryan Woo and Bryce Miller, but have faced rejection in their attempts.
Current discussions suggest the Red Sox may pursue Luis Castillo, though negotiations are complicated by differing expectations. The Mariners might prefer to receive a starting pitcher rather than just offensive talent in return, despite their need for runs.
Red Sox reporter Alex Speier speculates that Kutter Crawford could be part of a trade package, potentially along with offensive assets like Triston Casas and Wilyer Abreu, who recently earned a Gold Glove. The situation remains fluid as both teams navigate their needs.
