Part 2/9:
The Red Sox are clearly targeting a left-handed starting pitcher, with their interest now directed towards Max Fried after missing out on Blake Snell and Yusei Kikuchi. Fried, represented by CAA, stands out as a strong candidate due to his consistent performance and potential cost-effectiveness compared to Snell. The commentary around the situation suggests that the Red Sox must act quickly and decisively to avoid continuing what has become a pattern of underwhelming offseasons.
