Marcus Stroman set for free agency; Top 5 landing spots

5. Boston Red Sox

The Red Sox newest Chief Baseball Officer hiring creates an ideal link between the franchise and the starting pitcher. Craig Breslow got the chance to watch Stroman over the past few seasons during the pair’s time together with the Cubs and Breslow’s work on the pitching side with the organization should give him a good background on what Stroman was able to bring. With an upgrade needed within the rotation, Stroman could give Boston a stopgap as it waits for the young talent to reach the majors.
