White Sox Trade Deadline Strategy: Garrett Crochet’s Value Soars
With the MLB trade deadline just two weeks away, eyes are on the White Sox and their approach as potential sellers. A key figure in this scenario is left-handed ace Garrett Crochet, who has been garnering significant interest. Reports suggest that teams are prepared to offer a substantial haul for him.
Garrett Crochet’s performance this season is turning heads. The 25-year-old pitcher, fresh off Tommy John surgery, boasts a 3.02 ERA and a striking 0.950 WHIP over 107.1 innings and 20 starts. He leads MLB in strikeouts with 150, earning him an All-Star nod. Adding to his trade appeal, Crochet’s contract is a bargain, making him a prime target for teams looking to bolster their roster without breaking the bank.
While the White Sox don’t have to trade Crochet, any deal crafted by GM Chris Getz will likely aim to ensure the team "wins the trade." This approach mirrors Getz’s previous successful trades, such as the one involving Dylan Cease, which netted the White Sox three prospects and a veteran pitcher. Fans can expect a similar mindset as Getz navigates potential offers, potentially involving other stars like Luis Robert Jr.
