BREAKING: Boston Red Sox 40-Man Roster STACKED With Young Arms as Garrett Crochet Extension SIGNALS Championship Push
Locked On Red Sox - Daily Podcast On The Boston Red SoxAbout this episode
The Boston Red Sox pitching staff gets a complete 40-man roster breakdown as the team faces critical decisions heading into 2026. With ace Garrett Crochet locked in and Aroldis Chapman coming off an American League Reliever of the Year campaign, the rotation still desperately needs a number two starter to bridge the gap before Brayan Bello. Gabby (Hurlbut) Maljanian evaluates all 22 pitchers on the roster, from promising young arms like Connelly Early—who impressed in a hostile playoff environment at Yankee Stadium—to trade candidates like Luis Perales and Payton Tolle. The analysis covers injury concerns surrounding Tanner Houck and Kutter Crawford, the Rafael Devers trade returns Kyle Harrison and Jordan Hicks, and bullpen depth featuring Garrett Whitlock, Justin Slaten, and David Sandlin. Key questions emerge about which prospects the Red Sox should keep versus trade for immediate help. Discover which pitchers are untouchable, who's on the trading block, and where Boston's biggest roster gaps remain before spring training. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
