The Boston Red Sox successfully traded for left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox, parting with four top prospects. Crochet, who has the potential to elevate the team's rotation, is recognized for his elite pitching abilities. Red Sox pitching coach Andrew Bailey emphasized Crochet's capacity to dominate games and support the bullpen, essential for winning streaks. After a recovery from Tommy John surgery, Crochet showed signs of potential but had mixed results in 2023. This acquisition sets a new phase for the Red Sox's pitching strategy moving forward.
"I think anytime you look around the league and you're talking about a Top 3, Top 5 starting pitcher, ... he's a guy who can get you out of a slump. He can just take over a game and win it."
"You know that, most turns, your team's going to be in position to win late in the game. Those guys with elite stuff and command… the more you can do it, the better it is for the entire staff."
