Lucas Giolito Plans To Fix Mechanics Going Into 2024 Season
11 months agoBoston Red Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito has a plan to fix what has plagued him on the mound for the better part of the last two years and is eager to work alongside Red Sox pitching coach Andrew Bailey in 2024. It didn't help that Giolito spent time with three teams -- the Cleveland Guardians, Los Angeles Angels and Cincinnati Reds -- and went through a divorce this past season. He'll be looking for a bounce-back year in Beantown after signing a two-year, $38.5 million deal this offseason with the Red Sox. Giolito had a 7.04 ERA in his final six starts and hasn't been the same pitcher that was a Cy Young candidate from 2019-21. The 29-year-old remained durable, though, and he's had 200 strikeouts twice in the last three years. It won't be easy at Fenway Park or in the tough American League East, but if Giolito tightens up his mechanics and stays healthy, he could be a fine value pick in fantasy drafts.
