White Sox Trade Garrett Crochet to Red Sox for Four Prospects

The trade strengthens Boston's rotation while Chicago gains top catching prospect Kyle Teel and other young talent.

The Chicago White Sox traded left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for four minor-league prospects, including highly-rated catcher Kyle Teel.
Kyle Teel, the centerpiece of the trade, is ranked No. 25 in MLB.com's prospect rankings and is considered a strong offensive catcher with potential for major-league impact.
The White Sox also acquired outfielder Braden Montgomery, infielder Chase Meidroth, and pitcher Wikelman Gonzalez, adding depth to their farm system.
The Red Sox bolster their rotation with Crochet, a 25-year-old lefty with a 3.58 ERA in his first season as a starter and one of the league's most electric arsenals, including a 97-mph fastball.
Chicago White Sox GM Chris Getz indicated plans to fill the rotation gap internally while exploring additional pitching acquisitions in the offseason.
