White Sox Pitcher Garrett Crochet Draws Significant Trade Interest
The All-Star left-hander, under team control through 2026, is a key target for MLB teams seeking rotation upgrades this offseason.
- Garrett Crochet, coming off his first full season as a starter, posted a 3.58 ERA, 209 strikeouts, and earned All-Star honors in 2024.
- The Chicago White Sox, following a 121-loss season, are reportedly prioritizing position-player prospects in trade talks for Crochet.
- The Baltimore Orioles, in need of a rotation ace, are seen as a strong fit due to their deep prospect pool, though other teams like the Mets and Red Sox are also interested.
- Speculative trade packages for Crochet include multiple top prospects, with the Orioles' Coby Mayo and Samuel Basallo and the Mets' Brett Baty among potential pieces.
- While Crochet's injury history raises concerns, his affordable arbitration salary and team control through 2026 make him a highly attractive trade target.
