The Boston Red Sox are in dire need of a boost to their starting rotation, and they're not alone in their quest for assistance. As reported by MLB Trade Rumors' Steve Adams, the Red Sox have been listed as a 'plausible fit' for free agent pitcher Michael Lorenzen.

If negotiations with Jordan Montgomery, another top target for the team, fail to come to fruition, the Red Sox may be looking elsewhere to bolster their starting five. According to FanSided MLB insider Robert Murray, no significant progress has been made in discussions between the Red Sox and Montgomery's agent, Scott Boras.

Despite recent additions like Lucas Giolito, Tyler O'Neill, and Vaughn Grissom, there is still a sense of urgency surrounding the team's need for further rotation help. The Red Sox have watched their division rivals make significant moves this offseason, with the likes of Juan Soto and Corbin Burnes joining the AL East mix.

As Opening Day approaches, the Boston faithful are holding out hope that the team will make a bold move to shore up their starting pitching corps. With Lorenzen's name being tossed around as a potential solution, it's clear that the Red Sox are exploring all options in their pursuit of rotation depth.
