Boston Red Sox offseason moves could reshape their 2026 World Series chances. Should Craig Breslow pull the trigger on a Mackenzie Gore trade after surrendering four top prospects for Garrett Crochet last December?

Host Gabby (Hurlbut) Maljanian breaks down the Red Sox's critical pitching decisions, analyzing whether trading for the Nationals' 26-year-old left-hander makes sense with two years of team control remaining. The discussion covers Lucas Giolito declining his $19 million mutual option despite a strong second-half turnaround, the qualifying offer system and its strategic implications, and Liam Hendricks' release after struggling through injuries. Key topics include potential trade packages involving prospects like Jhostynxon Garcia and Marcus Phillips, rotation uncertainty beyond Crochet and Brayan Bello with Tanner Houck recovering from Tommy John surgery, and bullpen concerns that need addressing before spring training.

Discover why the Red Sox must pursue at least two starting pitchers this winter and which prospects could be on the move at December's winter meetings.
