Red Sox Acquire All-Star Pitcher Garrett Crochet in Major Trade

Boston trades four top prospects to the White Sox for Crochet, bolstering their rotation with a rising star.

Garrett Crochet, a 25-year-old All-Star left-hander, joins the Boston Red Sox after a breakout 2024 season with the Chicago White Sox.
The Red Sox traded four prospects, including catcher Kyle Teel and outfielder Braden Montgomery, to secure Crochet, who posted a 3.58 ERA and 209 strikeouts in 146 innings last season.
Crochet expressed relief and excitement about the trade, citing Boston’s passionate fan base and storied baseball history as key motivators.
The move strengthens Boston's rotation as they aim to improve on their 81-81 record and return to postseason contention for the first time since 2021.
The White Sox, who endured a historically poor 2024 season with 121 losses, received a package of young talent in hopes of rebuilding their roster.
