The Red Sox are adding an ace. Boston has agreed to a trade with the White Sox to acquire All-Star left-hander Garrett Crochet for a haul of four prospects, a source told MLB.com's Ian Browne. The teams have not confirmed the agreement.
The White Sox will receive catcher Kyle Teel (Boston's No. 4 prospect and MLB Pipeline's No. 25 overall prospect), outfielder Braden Montgomery (No. 54 overall prospect), infielder Chase Meidroth (Boston's No. 11 prospect) and right-hander Wikelman Gonzalez (Boston's No. 14 prospect), per source.
Crochet, 25, was an All-Star for Chicago in 2024, his first year as a starting pitcher in the Majors. Though his record was just 6-12 for the 120-loss White Sox, he posted a 3.58 ERA with 209 strikeouts and just 33 walks in 146 innings. He debuted in 2020 and posted a 2.82 ERA as a full-time reliever in 54 appearances in 2021, but he missed all of 2022 after undergoing Tommy John surgery, returning for 13 solid appearances in 2023.
