Dealing an ace to the Boston Red Sox to fast-forward the rebuild, only eight years after trying the exact same plan, makes comparisons easier for Chicago White Sox fans. On paper, it looks like White Sox general manager Chris Getz got a decent haul on Wednesday for Garrett Crochet,

“The Sox have stuck by their high asking price ever since they put him on the market at the trade deadline,” Tom Verducci wrote. “Said one high-ranking source of a team that was interested in Crochet, ‘We’re out. They wanted three of our top prospects. Three. We can’t do that.'”
