You\u2019d think Crochet\u2019s stellar season in Boston might have the Chicago White Sox feeling some type of way about having traded Crochet last December. On the contrary, Chicago feels good about the trade 11 months later, mostly because the White Sox are thrilled about the ongoing development of the players they received in exchange for Crochet: Kyle Teel, Braden Montgomery, Chase Meidroth and Wikelman Gonzalez.<\/p>\n<p>White Sox general manager Chris Getz revealed this stance during this week\u2019s MLB General Manager meetings in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know Garrett did what he did,\u201d Getz said, per FanSided\u2019s MLB insider Robert Murray. \u201cI\u2019m not surprised at all. I thought he was just scratching the surface (when he was here). I couldn\u2019t be happier with our deal. I think it\u2019s got a chance to be even better than anticipated, to be quite honest with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be able to get the impact that we did this year with three of those players, positive impacts, and they\u2019re also just scratching the surface and the continued development and the blooming of Braden, it\u2019s got a chance to be a really special deal,\u201d Getz continued. \u201cWhere they are in their careers and to get to the big leagues all around the same time, it makes it even more valuable.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Teel was viewed as the headline of the Boston\u2019s package, and the 23-year-old catcher certainly delivered on that reputation in 2025 for the White Sox, becoming just the fourth catcher ever to have an OPS+ over 120 in his rookie season.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Maybe this was a good deal for both teams in the end. Chicago obviously lost one of the game\u2019s best pitchers in Crochet, but he didn\u2019t fit their timeline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b31c38d3071b3e4e4659ad7416c68232?s=96&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=g\" alt=\"White Sox GM Makes Feelings On Garrett Crochet Trade Clear\" \/><\/figure>\n<div>\n<h3>Colin Keane<\/h3>\n<p>Colin Keane is a contributing journalist for NESN.
