Trade Rumors Swirl Around White Sox Ace Garrett Crochet

Multiple MLB teams, including the Yankees, Red Sox, and Phillies, are speculated to be pursuing a trade for the All-Star pitcher after Blake Snell's signing with the Dodgers.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' acquisition of Blake Snell has intensified trade interest in Chicago White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet, who posted a 3.58 ERA and 209 strikeouts in 2024.
The Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, and Cubs are among the teams reportedly exploring trade packages to acquire Crochet, with each offering varying combinations of prospects and major league players.
The Red Sox are seen as a particularly competitive suitor, with their deep farm system and urgent need for an ace following Snell's move to Los Angeles and injuries in their rotation.
The White Sox, coming off a historically poor season, are prioritizing young, controllable prospects in potential deals, signaling a long-term rebuild strategy.
Speculation suggests a trade may not materialize immediately, as the White Sox could wait for increased desperation among teams seeking left-handed pitching options.
