He had gone through a lot with the organization, jumping right from college to MLB, enduring Tommy John surgery that wiped out his 2022 campaign and emerging as an All-Star starting pitcher this past season while Chicago lost an historic 121 games.<\/p>\n<p>All those experiences made it hard for Crochet to say goodbye to the White Sox, but it didn\u2019t dampen his eagerness to join his new team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s definitely a bittersweet feeling,\u201d Crochet told MLB.com\u2019s Scott Merkin on Thursday. \u201cFeeling like the White Sox were the team that first believed in me. But I guess this game is such a business side of things that I\u2019m just excited to be a Red Sox now.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Crochet started garnering interest during the middle of this past season as he tormented opposing batters with a lethal arsenal of pitches. The left-hander recorded 209 strikeouts in 146 innings to go along with a 3.58 ERA and a 1.096 WHIP.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his performances on the mound and the fact he\u2019s just entering his prime, Crochet told Merkin there were never any contract talks between him and the White Sox.<\/p>\n<p>The White Sox ultimately decided to cash in on Crochet\u2019s talent by acquiring some top-tier prospects from the Red Sox while Chicago is in the middle of a massive rebuild. Teel was the highest-rated of the bunch, ranking as Boston\u2019s fourth-best prospect prior to the trade.<\/p>\n<p>Crochet doesn\u2019t hold any feelings of ill will toward the White Sox or general manager Chris Getz for how things turned out. In fact, he\u2019s happy he and the White Sox both made out in the deal with Chicago getting a haul of prospects and Crochet going to a storied franchise steeped in baseball history.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cPart of me, when rumors and everything started going around, I was just thinking, \u2018Damn, Chris. You better get a pretty big package because I value myself pretty highly. I hope you are able to cash in,&#8217;\u201d Crochet said. \u201cI think he did pretty well. Selfishly thinking, he put me in a pretty good spot where I can go and have success.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Standout starting pitcher Garrett Crochet made his first comments since being traded to the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":17614,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
