Garrett Crochet is adjusting to his recent trade from the Chicago White Sox to the Boston Red Sox during spring training. He expressed that getting familiar with teammates' names is the hardest change for him. Crochet is now focused on refining his skills on the mound. He is particularly excited to be alongside Walker Buehler, a seasoned pitcher he has long admired. Despite having limited starting experience, Crochet aims to elevate the Red Sox pitching rotation alongside Buehler, who has a successful track record with the Dodgers, including multiple All-Star appearances.
Getting to know names. That's probably the toughest part. Other than that, just playing ball.
That's a guy that I've looked up to and admired since I was in high school. I followed his career at Vanderbilt and then into the big leagues.
It’s really cool to be able to share the locker room with him, watch his full (bullpen sessions) and kind of pick his brain afterward.
Buehler's best seasons came in 2019 and 2021 when he earned All-Star appearances. Buehler dazzled four seasons ago when he went 16-4 in a career-high 33 starts.
