Garrett Crochet was acquired by the Boston Red Sox from the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday for four prospects.
For the Red Sox, who are still seeking more pitching, it was a quick pivot after losing out on the chance to get free agent all-star lefty pitcher Max Fried, who signed with the New York Yankees.
Crochet was 6-12 record with a 3.58 ERA in 32 starts for a White Sox team that went 41-121, the most losses for a club since 1900.
To me, the Red Sox needed to make a splash, and for now, they did by getting Crochet from the White Sox. Other free agents are still on the market they can pursue: Corbin Burnes, Alex Bregman, etc.
It’s a good start, but let’s hope they can get more big trades before Spring training begins.
