"It's a big return for Chicago," Passan explained, "but for a pitcher like Crochet - an ace-level starter with two years of cheap control - that's the price to pay."
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the full prospect return for the White Sox is Teel, outfielder Braden Montgomery, infielder Chase Meidroth and right-hander Wikelman Gonzalez.
Crochet, 25, was originally drafted by the White Sox in the first round in 2020. Though his win-loss record was poor in 2024 (6-12), it was largely due to circumstances beyond his control playing for the worst team in MLB history.
The Red Sox desperately needed to add help to the team's pitching staff, which struggled through an inconsistent 2024 season. That Crochet is a lefty is also a huge plus, as the team's current projected starting rotation consists of all right-handed pitchers.
