Nick Pivetta Receives Qualifying Offer
2 mins agoBoston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Nick Pivetta received a qualifying offer, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Pivetta will now have until November 19 to accept the offer or choose to test free agency. This past summer, the 31-year-old posted a 4.14 ERA and 1.13 WHIP, with a solid 36:172 BB:K ratio across 145 2/3 innings of work. Pivetta generated strikeouts at an elite 28.9% mark thanks to his sweeper, then generated an impressive 35.0% whiff rate. In addition, he also showed solid command with a 6.1% walk rate but struggled with allowing hard contact as he held a 10.1% barrel rate. Fantasy managers should view the 31-year-old as a safe bet for strikeouts with risk, given his hard contact rates heading into the 2025 season.
