In need of a solid arm
The Red Sox struggled to get consistent starting pitching last season, posting a combined ERA of 4.36, third worst in the American League.
Porcello joins the Red Sox coming off the best season of his career. Last season, the right-hander set career-bests in wins, ERA, WHIP and walk rate. He also reached 200 innings for the first time and pitched the first three shutouts of his career.
He was worth 4.0 Wins Above Replacement last season. In 2012 and 2013 combined, Porcello was worth 3.9 WAR.
Porcello has consistently ranked as one of the top ground-ball inducers among starting pitchers. His 53 percent ground-ball rate over the last three seasons ranks 12th among the 100 pitchers who have thrown the most innings in that span.
Porcello might also benefit from getting away from Comerica Park. He has a 4.56 ERA there over the last three seasons, compared to 3.63 on the road. His 2.66 ERA road ERA last season ranked 10th in the majors.
Big Bat, Better Arm
Céspedes’ departure clears a glut in the Red Sox outfield and gives the Tigers another powerful bat. He's averaged 24 home runs and 27 doubles in his first three major-league seasons.
Though Céspedes will certainly add to an already potent Tigers offense, his largest contributions will likely come on defense.
His 12 Defensive Runs Saved ranked third among leftfielders last season. Those runs come mainly from the value of his throwing arm. He led the majors with 16 outfield assists last season. He has 35 assists over the last three seasons. Only Alex Gordon of the Royals has more (42).
Tigers outfielders combined for -33 Defensive Runs Saved last season, third-worst in the majors.
Cespedes was worth 4.1 Wins Above Replacement last season. This makes for a case of the rich getting richer. He'll join a Tigers team that has four returning players who were worth at least 4.0 WAR last season-- Victor Martinez, J.D. Martinez, Miguel Cabrera and Ian Kinsler. The Tigers and Pirates were the only teams to have four position players worth at least 4.0 WAR last season.
Cespedes will likely be the Tigers' ninth different opening day leftfielder in the last nine seasons. Only the Padres have a longer active streak of different Opening Day leftfielders-- 10 straight seasons.
