Pitchers and catchers report in 2 days. Here is the Red Sox current rotation:
Rodriguez jumped form 129.2 innings in 2018 to 203.1 in 2019. Sale and Eovaldi have well documented injury issues. And Martin Perez is what he is. They have no 5th starter.
How the rotation shapes up - Sale and Eovaldi being healthy and Rodriguez being able to handle the workload - along with finding a 5th starter is going to make the difference from finishing 4th in the AL East or contending for a Wild Card.
What is the front office going to do to fill the innings?
- Chris Sale (147.1 innings in 2019)
- Eduardo Rodriguez (203.1 innings in 2019)
- Nathan Eovaldi (67.2 innings in 2019)
