\"\"Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.\u00a0 In order to jumpstart their latest rebuilding effort, the White Sox have traded their stud left-handed starter to the Red Sox for four prospects.\u00a0 Hopefully the end result will be different from the Chris Sale<\/a> deal back in 2016.\u00a0 This time around, Garrett Crochet is heading east, while the White Sox will receive catcher Kyle Teel, outfielder Braden Montgomery, infielder Chase Meidroth, and right-hander Wikelman Gonzalez.<\/p>\n

Crochet was the 11th overall selection by the White Sox in the 2020 draft.\u00a0 Thanks to the pandemic, he didn’t spend any time in the minor leagues before making his major league debut on September 18, throwing a scoreless inning with two strikeouts against the Reds. \u00a0Crochet worked out of the bullpen for the remainder of the year, giving up just three hits without allowing a run to score in five appearances as the White Sox made the post-season for the first time since 2008.\u00a0 He made a single appearance in the Wild Card round against the A’s, striking out the two batters he faced.<\/p>\n

Crochet returned to the bullpen in 2021, going 3-5 with a 2.82 ERA.\u00a0 He appeared in three of the four games in the ALDS against the Astros, giving up five hits in just two and a third innings without surrendering a run.\u00a0 An elbow injury and Tommy John surgery wiped out his 2022 season, and he returned to the big leagues in 2023, making thirteen appearances with a 3.55 ERA.<\/p>\n

Last year, following the Dylan Cease trade, Crochet moved to the starting rotation full time and was named the opening day starter.\u00a0 Coming off the injury and having totaled 73 total career innings, he was restricted to save his arm.\u00a0 After notching his first All-Star, he struggled a little in the second half, finishing the season with 32 starts and a 6-2 record, posting a 3.58 ERA.<\/p>\n

Teel, ranked as the #25 prospect in all of baseball, is the centerpiece of the deal. \u00a0A 22-year-old left-handed hitter, he was the first round draft choice of the Red Sox in 2023.\u00a0 He split 2024 between Double A and Triple A and is expected to be ready to reach the major leagues next year. \u00a0Montgomery, a 21-year-old switch hitter, is ranked as the #54 prospect and was the top pick for the Red Sox in this summer’s draft.\u00a0 Meidroth, a 23-year-old right hander, spent last season in Triple A, showing good plate discipline with little pop.\u00a0 Gonzalez, 22, posted a 4.73 ERA in Double A last season, working mostly as a starter.<\/p>\n

Will this deal work out better for the White Sox than the Sale trade did eight years ago?\u00a0 Only time will tell, as the south siders look to bounce back from the worst season in baseball history.<\/p>\n
