The Red Sox have been linked recently to free agent pitchers Edwin Jackson and Roy Oswalt. But E-Jax apparently has better deals on the table from other clubs and Oswalt is thought to prefer a team in the middle of the country, like the Cards or Rangers.
Which leads us to the following report?
According to WEEI?s Alex Speier, Red Sox GM Ben Cherington said Wednesday night that it?s ?unlikely? a new pitcher joins the team?s rotation mix before the start of spring training later this month.
?We wouldn?t rule out adding a starter, but I think it?s unlikely at this point,? said the Red Sox general manager. ?We?re going to keep looking for ways to improve the team, including the pitching staff, (but) I wouldn?t expect any major changes. ??We think the lineup is pretty balanced and I think we have some options in the bullpen and that can be a strength. We like the front of the rotation. We?re going to find out more about the end of the rotation in spring training and see if guys step up.?
Jon Lester, Josh Beckett and Clay Buchholz are locks for Boston?s 2012 starting rotation. Alfredo Aceves, Daniel Bard, Andrew Miller, Vicente Padilla and Aaron Cook will compete for the other spots.
