Why Red Sox's Reported Deal With Lucas Giolito A Win For Boston

The Red Sox improved their pitching Friday by reportedly agreeing to a two-year contract with free agent starter Lucas Giolito. No, the Red Sox didn't land Shohei Ohtani, a generational two-way superstar, or Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a 25-year-old with the potential to become an ace in Major League Baseball after a decorated career in Japan. Both players chose to join the Los Angeles Dodgers for a whole bunch of money, thinning a top-heavy free agency class that already took a hit when pitchers Aaron Nola and Sonny Gray signed with the Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals, respectively.
