Cora Drops Shocking Sale News At Red Sox Camp

The Boston Red Sox sent ripples through the baseball world with their significant offseason acquisition of All-Star pitcher Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox. In a deal that saw four of Boston’s top prospects, including Kyle Teel and Braeden Montgomery, head to Chicago, the Red Sox aimed to fill a crucial need for their starting rotation—a genuine ace.

Last year, the Red Sox rotation lacked that headline-grabbing pitcher. Tanner Houck (9-10, 3.12 ERA) and Brayan Bello (14-8, 4.49 ERA) led the pack but fell short of ace status. Both pitchers have shown potential to be standout No. 2 and No. 3 options, but the addition of Crochet gives Boston the front-line pitcher they were missing.

Crochet’s 2024 season with the White Sox was nothing short of remarkable, even as rumors swirled around his trade potential during the summer. His presence in Boston has already garnered high praise from Red Sox manager Alex Cora, who made waves at spring training by comparing Crochet to former Red Sox ace Chris Sale.

Cora’s statement, “(Garrett Crochet) looks like Chris Sale but stronger,” speaks volumes about Crochet’s talent and potential impact. It’s a comparison that blends flattery with high expectations.

Both Crochet and Sale are left-handed power pitchers, with their careers crossing paths in the White Sox organization. For Boston fans, the dream is for Crochet to replicate Sale’s early Boston success.

Sale, who was dealt to the Atlanta Braves in December 2023, left a strong legacy in Boston with a 46-30 record and a 3.00 ERA over six seasons. His early years included back-to-back All-Star appearances and a pivotal role in the Red Sox’s 2018 championship team.

However, injuries marred Sale’s later years, and Red Sox Nation is hopeful that history does not repeat itself with Crochet.

Last season demonstrated Crochet’s capacity as a dynamic strikeout pitcher, tallying a whopping 209 strikeouts over 146 innings in his first full season as a starter. His ability to miss bats is something Boston has sorely missed at the top of the rotation. If Crochet continues to harness his power and dominate hitters, the Red Sox could find themselves in a prime position to make another postseason push.

In a city where pitching legends are made, Garrett Crochet has the stage set for him. Now, it’s time to see if he can live up to the hype and write his own chapter in Boston’s storied history.
