Red Sox unlikely to pursue Tarik Skubal as offseason target

The Boston Red Sox are focusing on offensive improvements ahead of the offseason. Current reports indicate that while they have needs on both sides of the game, signing free agent Tarik Skubal appears unlikely due to the potential $400 million contract he could command. The Red Sox already boast a full starting rotation and are considering other ways to bolster their pitching depth without making large financial commitments. Addressing offensive gaps continues to be the priority as the team assesses its strategy for the upcoming season.
