The Boston Red Sox face pressing questions about long-term pitching depth after a brutal outing by rookie Jedixson Páez, who was left stranded on the mound as Seattle Mariners’ bats erupted. With Sonny Gray skipping a start for extra rest and key arms like Garrett Crochet and Johan Oviedo still sidelined, can Alex Cora’s squad afford more experiments with their rotation as October looms?

Gabby Maljanian breaks down the ripple effects of these pitching decisions, praises Mickey Gasper’s historic offensive tear, and shares the latest positive updates on Garrett Crochet’s rehab. Discussion spotlights the Red Sox bullpen’s workload, the management of fatigue, and where breakout stars fit as the roster gets healthier. With playoff hopes heating up, is it time to worry about depth, or are key reinforcements just in time for a postseason push?
