Crochet, 25, has been one of the biggest trade pieces on the market since July's trade deadline, quickly becoming one of the game's elite power arms.
Adding Crochet allows the Red Sox to slot the rest of their rotation down, with Crochet followed by the likes of Tanner Houck, Kutter Crawford and Bryan Bello.
The biggest bonus here for the Red Sox is acquiring a frontline starter with two years of club control remaining, especially given how expensive this winter's market for starting pitching has become.
Boston can now chart a new course for the remainder of this winter, the next step of which should be searching for more offense.
