Garrett Crochet, a top starter for the White Sox, has been the focus of trade rumors and reports recently. Bob Nightengale suggested that the team plans to trade Crochet before the deadline. However, White Sox analyst and former pitcher Steve Stone dismissed the idea during the team’s game against the Rockies. Stone believes that Crochet will remain with the team and wear the White Sox uniform proudly for a while.
Crochet is not the only player on the White Sox roster who has been linked to trade talks this summer. With the team expected to sell players at the July 30 deadline, other names like Luis Robert Jr., Michael Kopech, Tommy Pham, and Erick Fedde have also come up in trade rumors.
In MLB, it’s common for teams to sell off players before the trade deadline, and the speculation surrounding potential trades will only increase as the deadline draws nearer. Stone, who was traded twice during his career, spoke about the uncertainty that players feel when their names are mentioned in trade talks. He emphasized that dealing with trade rumors is just part of the business in baseball.
The MLB trade deadline is set for 5 p.m. on July 30, and the White Sox are expected to be active participants in trading players. To stay updated on the latest news and discussions surrounding the team, fans can listen to the White Sox Talk Podcast.
