00:00Julian McWilliams, Boston Globe, Source, Red Sox on the verge of trading for Garrett Crochet.

00:09Look out!

00:10The deal includes top prospect Kyle Teal and none of the other big name prospects.

00:16Holy mackerel.

00:17So, it was Marcella Meyer's name that was out there earlier in the week, maybe even

00:21late last week.

00:23Red Sox hang on to Meyer, they hang on to Roman Anthony, they hang on to Christian Campbell,

00:27they have landed Garrett Crochet from the White Sox according to Julian McWilliams

00:33of the Boston Globe.

00:34I would give that a standing ovation.

00:35That's excellent.

00:36No, that's excellent.

00:37That's a real guy.

00:38That is a guy who's better than anybody else that you have.

00:39Now, the questions with Crochet, you remember last year at the trade deadline, it was, I'm

00:45only going to go somewhere if I get a new contract and I won't pitch out of the bullpen.

00:50I won't even pitch for you unless I get a contract.

00:52So there was a lot of stuff going on last year because he was one of the big names that

00:55was out there.

00:56The Red Sox were obviously terrible.

00:57He had a really good year, 146 innings pitched, but 209 strikeouts in a 3-5-8 ERA.

01:05He is only 25 years old.

01:08So that is a massive, now I'm just curious, he's arbitration eligible until 2027?

01:13Yeah, they should pay him right now.

01:15They should absolutely pay him right now.

01:16If you're worried about paying pitchers $200, $250, $300 million, they should pay him right

01:21now.

01:22Jeff Patson, this is when reporters get territorial.

01:25Oh boy.

01:26Red Sox are finalizing a trade to acquire left-hander Garrett Crochet from the White

01:29Sox, sources tell ESPN.

01:31He doesn't have any prospects involved, but he says the deal is in the medical phase.

01:34Not official, but trending towards it.

01:37Does he say that Julian McNichols had it first or McWilliams?

01:40He does not.

01:41Julian McWilliams.

01:42McNichols?

01:43Is he a player?

01:44Yeah, Jeremy McNichols.

01:45Jeremy McNichols.

01:46Yeah, he scored some touchdowns.

01:47Christian McNichols' rookie nest?

01:48Oh yeah.

01:49Oh, good one.

01:50I can't know everybody.

01:51Is it really credit if you don't credit the right name?

01:53Julian McWilliams.

01:54I got around to it.

01:55Good point, Hart.

01:56Julian McWilliams did not say it's done either.

01:59Oh boy.

02:00He said on the verge.

02:01This thing better get done.

02:02No, no.

02:03Look, I'm still pissed they're not signing free agents and it's annoying, but-

02:05But this is good.

02:06I mean, we hit the breaking news thing.

02:07It kind of has to happen now.

02:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:09That's true.

02:10It's locked in.

02:11It has to go through.

02:12If you're going to get-

02:13It's radio science.

02:14If you're not going to get uncomfortable spending, you better get uncomfortable with

02:15the prospects.

02:16We said this earlier in the show.

02:17Crochet might have been the gem of the trade market, and they landed.
