We don’t need a starter this year. They need bullpen relief ace help way more than they need a 5th starter, and their payroll situation sucks with Betts coming up on a $300 million payday, Bogaerts likely getting $20 million per, with no obvious replacement for him in sight, and Bradley or his replacement not cheap, JD will almost surely opt out and need to be resigned to $20 plus million per, with Edro and Barnes (if they were to break out at all) not too far behind.Buchholz was very good last year, and if this comes down to whoever is willing to give Eovaldi an extra year, I'd definitely consider him a real alternative.
They Sox aren’t the Yankees. They can’t have all the newest and bestest shiny objects
