MLB Rumors: Red Sox Sent ‘Top Advisor’ To Watch Marcus Stroman Start

by Dakota Randall | Jul 20, 2019 | 1 Min Read

The Boston Red Sox already filled the hole in their rotation with Andrew Cashner, but might the defending champions be looking to make a far bigger splash?

The Red Sox had a “top advisor” in Detroit on Friday to watch Marcus Stroman’s start against the Tigers, MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reported. The Toronto Blue Jays star, who has been extensively scouted, ahead of the July 31 trade deadline, pitched seven shutout innings in his team’s 12-1 victory.

Morosi also hinted the Red Sox might have been scouting Tigers reliever Shane Greene, who currently has a 1.03 ERA to go along with 22 saves.

While Greene would fill a greater need for Boston, acquiring Stroman would send a direct “we’re serious about repeating” message from the Red Sox, who currently are three games out of the final American League Wild Card spot.

What do you think?  Leave a comment.

Stroman is 6-10 this season with a 3.06 ERA for the lowly Jays.
