Red Sox Listening On Rick Porcello
6 years agoThe Boston Red Sox are openly listening to trade offers for starting pitcher Rick Porcello as they try to clear salary space for bullpen help. Rivals also insist that Boston is willing to talk about shortstop Xander Bogaerts and outfielder Jackie Bradley. Porcello isn't the sexiest fantasy starter, but he put up 17 wins in 2018 a year after taking 17 losses. He also posted a career-high 8.9 K/9 in 33 starts and had a decent 4.28 ERA for the World Series champs. The difference in 2017 was that he allowed a career-high 38 home runs. The right-hander won 22 games for Boston in 2016, so staying in Beantown would be best for his fantasy value.
