The Red Sox are looking for pitching and would like to acquire one that they could control for more than one season.
Bud Norris is one of Boston's targets, according to a source.
Norris has a 3.63 ERA with the Astros. He averages 6.4 strikeouts per nine innings, 2.8 walks per nine innings and exactly six innings per start.
He is making just $3 million this year and has two more years of team control before he is eligible for free agency.
