The Boston Red Sox may soon lose a starting pitcher to the hapless Los Angeles Angels.
While the Boston Red Sox are waiting to hear back from Juan Soto, one of their own players also owes them a decision.
Pivetta had a 4.14 ERA in 2024, and has a 4.29 ERA in five total years in Boston. Those aren't numbers that scream "pay this guy $21 million," but lots of peripheral stats and pitch-tracking metrics show that Pivetta has some of the nastiest stuff in baseball, so there's a very legitimate chance some team comes in with a deal that makes it worth declining the qualifying offer.
"The Angels have signed players like Noah Syndergaard and Tyler Anderson despite the qualifying offer being present, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see that trend continue with Pivetta. He’d help their rotation, but the cost both financially and with the draft pick for a mid-rotation arm at best just isn’t worthwhile."
