The Boston Red Sox acquired pitcher Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox, envisioning him as a future ace. Manager Alex Cora likened Crochet to former Red Sox ace Chris Sale but noted Crochet's stronger physique. Despite a challenging season with a 6-12 record, Crochet showcased impressive strikeout numbers. He expressed optimism about his development, especially after integrating a new pitch into his arsenal. Although not yet designated as the Opening Day starter, Crochet is a leading candidate due to the Red Sox's ongoing search for stability in their pitching rotation.
"Looking at my arsenal and the results I had just on a start-to-start basis and then once I incorporated the sinker I had at the end, it felt like everything was just really coming together."
"Big dude, hopefully Chris doesn't take it personally, but he looks like Chris Sale, but stronger."
