Checking in on the four top prospects the Red Sox traded for Garrett Crochet
The Boston Red Sox are already seeing why they traded four top prospects for Garrett Crochet this offseason.
Crochet has been a force to be reckoned with in Fort Myers. In his four spring training appearances, he’s clocked a 0.87 ERA with 21 strikeouts and six walks in 10.1 innings. He’s been a dominant presence on the field and has won the hearts of Sox fans. Although the Red Sox gave up a lot, Crochet has already cemented himself as an ace this year.
On the other side of the Crochet trade are the Chicago White Sox, who are overwhelmed with the number of prospects they have. Among them are former top Boston prospects Kyle Teel, Braden Montgomery, Chase Meidroth, and Wikelman Gonzalez.
Here’s a look at how the Red Sox’s four top prospects are doing with the White Sox.
Kyle Teel
Although he hasn’t appeared in many games this spring, Teel has had a hot start. He’s slashing .294/.429/.706 with six RBIs and two home runs in just 17 plate appearances. His strong offensive ceiling beats current White Sox catcher Matt Thaiss, and his defense is much welcomed on a team that struggled, to say the least, defensively.
