Red Sox Rotation Upgrade: Trade for Crochet or Sign a Free Agent Ace?

The Red Sox have some big decisions to make regarding their starting rotation. While pursuing free agent aces like Burnes or Fried remains a possibility, the Sox are reportedly lurking around a potential trade for White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet. This begs the question: is Crochet the missing piece, or should the Red Sox prioritize a proven free agent?

Crochet is young, talented, and on a team-friendly contract, making him a tempting target. However, acquiring him likely requires a significant trade package. Is he worth the cost, or would those resources be better spent securing a top-tier free agent? Perhaps the Sox are considering a dual approach: signing a big-name free agent like Soto AND trading for Crochet. How would such a power move impact the team’s long-term financial flexibility?

What do you think is the best strategy for the Red Sox? Should they go all-in on a trade for Crochet, pursue a free agent ace, or make a bold move for both? Let’s hear your predictions and opinions!
