The article discusses the aftermath of the December 2023 trade that sent Alex Verdugo to the New York Yankees and the benefits for the Boston Red Sox. Key player Richard Fitts, once the Yankees' No. 13 prospect, was showing great promise with a 1.74 ERA until sidelined by a right pectoral strain. Fitts' recent rehab start demonstrated his potential return, and coupled with Greg Weissert's contribution to the bullpen, the Red Sox hope to improve their below-average pitching performance this season.
