Red Sox Rebuffed On Logan Gilbert, George Kirby
1 year agoIt's no secret that the Boston Red Sox are looking for starting pitching help this offseason, whether through free agency or a trade, although they're far more interested in acquiring a pitcher with multiple years of control. They approached the Seattle Mariners about young right-handers Logan Gilbert and George Kirby but were rebuffed. It's going to take a lot to get the M's to move two young starters that they are trying to build around, and it's not like Boston has a very strong farm system to pull from to begin with. It's more likely that the Red Sox will go strong after a free-agent starter like Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery or Lucas Giolito. They're also in the mix with Japanese star starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, but Boston is considered more of a long shot to land him to headline their starting rotation.
