The Boston Red Sox are reportedly targeting Chicago White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet in a potential trade, with outfielder Wilyer Abreu as a key piece in negotiations. The Red Sox, facing a surplus in their outfield, see Abreu as a valuable trade chip to acquire a frontline starter like Crochet.
Despite Abreu's impressive rookie season and Gold Glove recognition, the Red Sox may need to make sacrifices to address their pitching needs, especially given Crochet's strong performance last year.
