Garrett Crochet is now a member of the Boston Red Sox following a significant trade with the Chicago White Sox. This move comes after the Red Sox missed out on other top pitchers, including Max Fried. Crochet, 25, had a solid first season as a starter, boasting a 3.58 ERA and 209 strikeouts.

The trade cost Boston four minor league prospects, indicating their commitment to revamping the roster. Crochet's acquisition marks a strategic effort to strengthen their pitching rotation as they aim to improve from a disappointing 81-81 record last season.
