Why should the pitching be any different than the rest of the team?Wow our pitching is going to suck.
Something within reasonThat seems reasonable. Wonder what the Red Sox offered.
I’d rather have Eovaldi than Jansen.I like Eovaldi. Love his competitiveness and he's got great stuff. I've always been surprised at how low his k/9 numbers are though, given that he throws 98 mph and has like two other nasty pitches. But I've always liked him and he will forever be a true Red Sox for what he gave the team in 2018. And I'd like for him to still be on the Red Sox' roster.
HOWEVER...
Innings pitched, 2018-2022 (forget 2020):
2018: 111.0
2019: 67.2
2021: 182.1
2022: 109.1
Going back further....
2012: 119.1
2013: 106.1
2014: 199.2
2015: 154.1
2016: 124.2
So only 3 times in his entire MLB career of 11 seasons has he thrown more than 120 innings. THREE. Only twice has he thrown more than 155 innings.
Yes the Sox still need to replace those innings. But that's an average of 130 innings per season - we aren't talking about a workhorse starter here.

That Tilt experience must have MOJO.It's going to be funny when Brasier is the last man standing
I agree, but.... It won't be that long before we fall in love with Bello and Casas and Rafaela and Mayer and Mata and Yorke, and a whole new crop of homegrown players.Really, I hope it's Devers last man standing. He is my favorite Red Sox now. If he leaves I will feel hurt. Not going to lie.
Does Turner count? He played in that world series.Players left from 2018

They have Leiter and Rocker coming at some point too, although maybe not this year.Rangers rotation looks solid, and expensive. Could also see it being an absolute disaster.
DeGrom, Eovaldi, Perez, Gray, Heaney, Odorizzi
The only way I could see Rocker being fast-tracked to MLB would be as a reliever.They have Leiter and Rocker coming at some point too, although maybe not this year.
