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.
