The Boston Red Sox used the offseason to make critical moves aimed at revitalizing their roster and enhancing their playoff prospects. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow emphasized the importance of acquiring Garrett Crochet, who was seen as an essential addition to elevate the team's pitching. With a focus on capitalizing on their existing talent and addressing the need for a standout ace, the front office engaged in trades and free agency, ultimately sacrificing valuable prospects to secure Crochet and strengthen their rotation for a return to postseason play.
We knew we had some talented pitchers that... had underperformed for a while, and we felt like there was more to get out of them... the recipe for success in this league tends to be having a legitimate No. 1 starter that you can run out there Game 1 of the playoffs.
Crochet's arrival in Boston didn't come cheap. Breslow surrendered top prospects... to the Chicago White Sox back in December to finalize the blockbuster swap.
