Rodon or Gausman instead of JBJ / Paxton? Jansen, and keep Houck in rotation? Of course, they also could have signed E-Rod which would not have been great. But this is kind of what happens when you dabble in the market of guys who are willing to sign 1 year deals at less than $10M; there’s a reason those pitchers accept those deals. Looking back, Tyler Anderson and Wacha are probably the best value so far this off-season with mostly misses and wasted money.Who should the Red Sox have acquired this past off season who is young & healthy & available & would have solved this super foreseeable problem of everyone getting injured? Keeping in mind for example that Wacha recently turned 31 & Whitlock recently turned 26, Eovaldi is 32, etc.
If you look at the list of free agent starters from last year, seems like the majority have spent time on DL this year; so perhaps it is not surprising that so many of the Sox guys went down.
