First off there is no excuse for the Sox being out-bid on ANY pitching after slashing the payroll for a few years now. Having said that I would stay away from Montgomery and focus on Snell. I like Gray but he is 34 now and he had a tough time in nY and not sure if he could handle Boston or not either. This would be in addition to being ALL IN on Yamamoto. If we get 2 SP at the top of the rotation our BP will be just fine given that Whitlock and either Pivetta or Houck will slide into the pen as well.
