Those Red Sox. Boyyy they done got us good

Not really. It was one of those trades that didn't really work out great for either team. Sure the Red Sox won a title, but I would not attribute that to the trade they made with us.

    Crochet has thrown 19 innings since 2021 (and he only threw 54 in 2021) and can't stay healthy.  He isn't going to be in the Sox starting rotation next year.  He needs to build innings. 

  • ....so will he be penciled in as the #2 or #3 starter to open 2024, then?

  • The problem with Kopech is he can't throw strikes. How does making him a reliever fix that problem?

Just what every team wants, a relief pitcher with no control.

No way in hell the way Moncada and Kpoech have turned out we didn't get slaughtered. You don't trade a guy like Sale without receiving  major young talent that pans out. In fact by Jerry's own criteria:

 

"You have to have four prospects who can’t possibly miss to get one," White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf told CSN. "I’ve seen so many players over the years who were going to be phenoms, they were going to be future Hall of Famers, and we don’t even remember what their names are anymore. That’s why when you’re trading a player of stature you’ve got to get multiple can’t-miss prospects back. That’s why it makes it tough to trade a player of great stature."

At least he'll get more innings as a middle reliever.  It's the only way he'd see the 4th inning on a regular basis.  

So is Urena the favorite to start on 2024 Opening Day, assuming the Sox don’t sign Zach Greinke?
