The Boston Red Sox haven’t made the playoffs since 2021 and it’s about time the front office made the necessary moves to make next year different.<\/p>\n

Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow had his chance to rejuvenate the roster last winter but elected to take a more conservative approach, which didn’t work.<\/p>\n

With plenty of stars in the trade and free agent markets this winter, perhaps the Red Sox will finally make aggressive decisions to give the club a fighting chance to compete in 2025.<\/p>\n

“Every team could use (Garrett) Crochet,” CBS Sports’ Mike Axisa wrote Friday when discussing where top trade candidates could land this winter. “He would have the greatest impact on a team on the postseason bubble. Think (Texas) Rangers, (Cincinnati) Reds, Red Sox, etc. Crochet could push a team like that over the threshold and into October.”<\/p>\n

Crochet posted a 6-12 record with a 3.58 ERA, 209-to-33 strikeout-to-walk ratio, .222 batting average against and a 1.07 WHIP in 146 innings pitched for the Chicago White Sox in 2024.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old was one of the most coveted trade targets at this summer’s deadline. However, Crochet gave a condition that he wouldn’t pitch in the postseason if he were dealt.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the left-handed pitcher remained on the worst team in Major League Baseball history in hopes of his stock rising for this winter’s trade market.<\/p>\n

According to Spotrac, the phenom southpaw’s projected market value is roughly $129 million over a seven-year deal, translating to nearly $18 million annually.<\/p>\n

The 2020 first-round draft pick has two years left of arbitration, so the Red Sox could acquire him without adding much to the payroll. Granted, Boston would have to sacrifice a decent haul of prospect capital to the rebuilding White Sox in exchange but doing so might be worth it.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the Red Sox need to make moves this winter if they want to return to the postseason. Pursuing a controllable and young ace like Crochet wouldn’t be a horrible place to start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
