Should the Boston Red Sox consider a trade for the veteran starting pitcher? A move could make a lot of sense this summer.
Boston currently is one game under .500 at 28-29 but fans still should have some hope. The Red Sox have floated around .500 this season but they haven't been at full strength at any point yet this season.
While this is the case, the rotation could use a boost with Garrett Whitlock expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing elbow surgery. It's uncertain at this point what Boston will do, but if it is in contention for a postseason spot this summer one player who could make sense is New York Mets starter Sean Manaea.
New York has had a rough season to this point and the New York Post's Jon Heyman said that Manaea is theManaea has been great so far this season and has a 3.16 ERA and 47-to-22 strikeout-to-walk ratio so far this season for New York in 51 1/3 innings pitched. Plus, he has ain his deal so there is a chance that Boston could have him for the 2025 season as well -- although that wouldn't be guaranteed.
The 32-year-old has been great so far this season and could fill in for Whitlock in a major way and give the Red Sox a better chance to land a playoff spot.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on baseball and basketball.
