About this episode
We dive into the Red Sox exciting acquisition of left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet from the White Sox. How good is Crochet, and what are the potential red flags? We discuss his bold claim of allegiance to Sox Nation, what his future might look like in Boston—including the possibility of an extension—and where he fits into the Sox’s rotation alongside last season’s newcomer Lucas Giolito. With Corbin Burnes still unsigned and Max Fried heading to the Yankees, we ask: could the Red Sox swoop in and land a top starter? We look at potential free-agent targets like Walker Buehler, Jack Flaherty, and Sean Manaea, as well as possible trade candidates including Luis Castillo from Seattle and Jared Jones from Pittsburgh. Could the Red Sox make a splash in the right-handed bat market? We weigh in on potential targets like Teoscar Hernandez, Alex Bregman, and Anthony Santander. And with Rafael Devers staying at third, would the Sox ever make a play for big names like Nolan Arenado? The bullpen could also use some work, and we look at internal options like Garrett Whitlock, Justin Slaten, and Michael Fulmer. We also discuss how veterans like Aroldis Chapman, Liam Hendriks, and Justin Wilson will affect the Sox bullpen. Tune in for all the latest hot stove talk and what the Red Sox's moves mean for the upcoming 2024 season with Tom Caron and Alex Speier, here on 310 to Left!
