Red Sox Acquiring Garrett Crochet From White Sox
1 month agoThe Boston Red Sox are acquiring left-hander Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday in exchange for catcher Kyle Teel, outfielder Braden Montgomery, infielder Chase Meidroth and right-hander Wikelman Gonzalez, according to sources. Crochet is an excellent consolation prize for the Red Sox after they saw the division-rival New York Yankees sign lefty Max Fried on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Crochet is not only an ascending young arm, but he's projected to make around $3 million next season and is under team control for 2026 also. Crochet was one of the best starters in baseball in the first half of 2024 in his move to a starting role in 2024, although he stumbled down the stretch and had his innings limited. He finished with a 3.58 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 209:33 K:BB in 32 starts. Although moving to the AL East won't be easy, Crochet's fantasy value improves with the move out of Chicago.
