Garrett Crochet spoke to reporters for the first time as a member of the Red Sox via Zoom on Friday.
After being dealt to Boston from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for four minor leaguers (RHP Wikelman Gonzalez, INF Chase Meidroth, OF Braden Montgomery, and C Kyle Teel) on Wednesday, Crochet said he’s happy to have found his next MLB home. He had been rumored to be on the trade market for the majority of the last season with the lowly 41-121 White Sox.
“There was definitely a lot of relief when it finally came to fruition and I got the call from (Chicago White Sox GM Chris) Getz, and (Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig) Breslow,” Crochet said, via MassLive’s Sean McAdam.
