The Boston Red Sox have reportedly traded for left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox, sending top prospect Kyle Teel in return.
Chicago: So, the Red Sox just pulled off a big trade! They’ve snagged Garrett Crochet from the White Sox. This guy was an All-Star in his first year as a starter, which is pretty impressive.
According to reports, the Red Sox are sending their top prospect, Kyle Teel, to Chicago. There might be a few more players involved, but Teel is the big name in this deal.
Now, Crochet just wrapped up his first season as a starter. He had a solid year, posting a 3.58 ERA over 146 innings with 209 strikeouts. Not too shabby, right? He even tied his career high with 11 strikeouts in a game against Colorado.
At just 25 years old, he’s got a bright future ahead. He made his All-Star debut this year and pitched a scoreless inning in the game. Pretty cool for a young guy!
Even though the White Sox had a rough season, finishing with the worst record in MLB history, Crochet was still a standout. The team decided to keep him for the rest of the season, but now he’s off to Boston.
With two more years of team control, Crochet could be a key player for the Red Sox as they look to build a competitive rotation. Exciting times ahead!
