As they attempt to recover from a .500 2024 season, the Boston Red Sox have zeroed in on a quality addition to their pitching staff.

The Red Sox have a deal to acquire pitcher Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox, according to a report from ESPN's Jeff Passan on Wednesday later confirmed by the White Sox.

Crochet, 25, has pitched four seasons for Chicago. He is 9-19 with a 3.29 ERA and 294 strikeouts in 219 innings pitched—numbers that belie his unlikely '24 breakout on a 41-121 team.

This past season, Crochet went 6-12 with a 3.29 ERA and 209 strikeouts and made the American League All-Star team. Advanced statistics suggest Crochet was even better as he posted a sterling FIP of 2.69.

Obviously it’s the Red Sox getting Crochet and the prospects going to the White Sox… https://t.co/SlxmqnIyjX
