The Boston Red Sox are finalizing a trade to acquire left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox. In exchange, the Red Sox will send four prospects to Chicago: catcher Kyle Teel (ranked No.4 in the Red Sox system and No.25 overall by MLB Pipeline), outfielder Braden Montgomery (No.5 in the Red Sox system and No.54 overall), infielder Chase Meidroth (No.11 in the system), and right-hander Wikelman Gonzalez (No.14 in the system). Crochet, 25, was an All-Star in 2024 and the American League Comeback Player of the Year. He boasts a career 3.29 ERA with 294 strikeouts over 219 innings pitched, including a dominant 36% strikeout rate. With two years of team control remaining, Crochet brings ace potential to the Red Sox rotation. The White Sox receive a significant haul of top prospects in return.
