Red Sox blockbuster trade!

[Jarlaxle]

For catching phenom Kyle Teel and 3 prospects, they got starter Garrett Crochet from the White Sox. WITHOUT giving up any major league players

I guess I need to do some homework before pitchers & catchers take the field in February. I've never heard of any of these guys.

Crochet missed all of 2022 because of surgery so you never know.....

Crochet is yet another candidate to burn himself out. He throws harder than any lefthander right now. He's already had TJ surgery.

John Smoltz, the best tv analyst since McCarver (in my opinion), explains why this trend of totally hard throwing a disproportionate amount of time is folly.

They're gonna raid their farm system and need another half decade to replenish. Same pattern over and over. They blew it on bigger signings and now they're gonna overpay for 2nd tier, injury prone guys. A few of these guys pull up lame and they're screwed.

Crochet has had elbow issues throughout his career. He missed the entire 2022 season.
