Red Sox Star Predicted To Sign $40 Million Blue Jays Deal After Rejecting Boston…
What will become of former Boston Red Sox standout Nick Pivetta now that the big-name free-agent pitchers are off the board?
Though he had just a 4.29 ERA in five years with the Red Sox, Pivetta became something of an advanced stats darling at the end of his Boston career, and the Red Sox tendered him the qualifying offer, sensing that his market would be stronger than his numbers would indicate.
Once Pivetta turned down that one-year $21.05 million QO, however, Boston quickly filled out their rotation, trading for Garrett Crochet and signing Walker Buehler for that exact dollar amount. Now, they’ll collect a draft pick at the end of the second round if Pivetta signs elsewhere.
