After five seasons with the Chicago White Sox, Garrett Crochet was traded to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for a slew of prospects, including Kyle Teel, Braden Montgomery, Chase Meidroth and Wikelman González. The trade went through in December as Crochet starts a new chapter with the Red Sox after posting a 3.58 ERA with 209 strikeouts across 146 innings pitched last season.
On Wednesday, Crochet's wife Rachel reshared a photo of Crochet, who was decked out in the Red Sox's jersey, on Instagram. The picture was reshared from Red Sox's spring training photo dump. The spring training is taking place at the Fenway South Player Development Complex in Fort Myers.
Rachel reacted with a heart emoji to the post.
