Red Sox Acquire White Sox Ace Garrett Crochet for Four Prospects

Dec 11, 2024, 06:59 PM

The Boston Red Sox are finalizing a trade to acquire left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox, with the deal currently in the medical phase, pending a physical review. The trade package includes catcher Kyle Teel, outfielder Braden Montgomery, infielder Chase Meidroth, and right-hander Wikelman Gonzalez heading to Chicago. Crochet, who transitioned to a starting role in 2024, has shown ace-level potential with a 3.29 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 294 strikeouts over 219 innings pitched. His acquisition by the Red Sox is seen as a significant move to bolster their pitching rotation with a young, high-potential pitcher under two years of team control. Crochet was an All-Star in 2024 and was named the 2024 AL Comeback Player of the Year. The White Sox are receiving four prospects, including two first-round picks, in this trade.
