One by one, starting pitchers keep coming off the board.

Earlier this week Seth Lugo signed with the Royals, and on Friday he was joined in Kansas City by former Padres teammate Michael Wacha. The Dodgers landed one of the biggest arms on the trade market by acquiring Rays ace Tyler Glasnow, and top Japanese free agent Yoshinobu Yamamoto appears to be edging closer to a decision.

But in Boston? Crickets.

Though the Red Sox have made it clear adding starting pitching is a top priority, the club still hasn’t made a significant move. Meanwhile, teams like the Cardinals and Royals have already fleshed out their rotations and the Dodgers and Yankees have made massive splashes to further emphasize their championship ambitions.

Unsurprisingly fans are growing restless, anxious for more than a nibble on the margins. The good news is that as irritating as the wait has been, there are still plenty of arms up for grabs.

Yamamoto and Jordan Montgomery, two of the top free agent pitchers on the market, are each still available and have been linked to the Red Sox in one way or another. The Red Sox were reportedly among the teams meeting with Yamamoto this week, and the club may have a unique angle with Montgomery, who is living in Boston this winter while his wife begins her dermatology residency at a local hospital.

Blake Snell, the reigning N.L. Cy Young Award winner and another top free agent, is also still available, though he has a qualifying offer attached to him and seems less likely to land in Boston.

Those three have taken their time letting their markets develop, and while Craig Breslow lamented they would have preferred come back from the Winter Meetings with pitching in hand, there’s only so much any club can control.

If Boston can land any of the big three it would massively improve the club’s rotation, but even if they don’t there are still plenty of other strong options still out there as well.

Shota Imanaga, though not as heralded as his countryman Yamamoto, is still highly regarded and projects as an impact arm in MLB. The 30-year-old lefty posted a 2.80 ERA with 174 strikeouts in 148 innings this past summer in Nippon Professional Baseball, and he’s also played with Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida for Samurai Japan in both the Olympics and World Baseball Classic.

There have been numerous reports linking Imanaga to Boston, and if it weren’t for Yamamoto there’s a good bet he would be among the most highly coveted pitchers available among Red Sox fans.

Another option is Lucas Giolito, who endured a rocky finish after being traded by the Chicago White Sox but who has still been among baseball’s most consistent inning-eaters over the past six years. Last season Giolito led baseball with 33 starts, and dating back to 2018 he ranks eighth in total innings pitched with 947.

The Red Sox certainly could’ve used that kind of durability last year, when Brayan Bello was the only starter who could be counted on to take the mound every fifth day.

A reunion between Breslow and former Chicago Cubs starter Marcus Stroman is another intriguing possibility. Stroman has a 3.65 career ERA over nine big league seasons and was an All-Star for the Cubs last year after posting a 2.96 ERA through the first half. Injuries wound up derailing his season afterwards, but overall Stroman has been one of baseball’s most reliable starters for nearly a decade.

If all else fails, the Red Sox can also bolster their rotation through a trade, whether it’s a high-cost acquisition for someone like Dylan Cease or someone a little more under the radar.

No matter how it happens, the Red Sox still have most of their pitching targets on the board. While this offseason has been stressful for fans who expected more of a “full throttle” approach, the winter is still young, and losing out on Lugo won’t seem like such a big deal if the Red Sox ultimately land someone better in the days to come.
