Boston Red Sox chairman Tom Werner has hinted that the team would not hesitate to go big in free agency this winter in an effort to get back into contention.

Werner called the 2014 season a "disaster," just a year after winning the World Series.

"I wouldn't say that we have limitless money, but we've got a lot of money to spend and we're determined to go into the free agent market and improve the team," Werner told WEEI in Boston.

Werner said the Red Sox in particular were looking to add "some front-line pitching talent" in the offseason.

"We spent some time over the last few weeks talking about exactly what we can do to improve," Werner said. "I think that our trades at the end of July attacked the fact that we had a lack of offense. I think [Yoenis] Cespedes is a key player for us going forward. I think our signing of Rusney Castillo is good. But we know we need some front-line pitching talent."
