The Boston Red Sox made significant roster moves on November fifth, declining a mutual option for pitcher Liam Hendriks and allowing Lucas Giolito to enter free agency. Hendriks' injury-plagued tenure ended with a buyout, while Giolito's decision to leave suggests a minor injury and anticipation of a full recovery. The team now has until November eighteenth to decide on a qualifying offer for Giolito, potentially keeping him or securing a draft pick. These moves have sparked speculation about future trade negotiations, particularly involving Jarren Duran, and may provide cost certainty for smoother off-season discussions.
