Boston media at least is describing it as a "steep price", albeit probably worth it.Scuzz wrote: Wed Dec 11, 2024 8:14 pm And the Red Sox get Crochet from the White Sox for four minor leaguers.
Both were using the seats of a season-ticket holder, who has owned the tickets since 1990 and was not in attendance and will therefore be allowed to keep them.
