The upcoming trade deadline has been a hot topic in the baseball world, and the Chicago White Sox have not been immune to speculation. Reports have circulated that frontline starter Garrett Crochet could be on the move before the deadline. However, during a recent interview with Steve Stone, former pitcher and White Sox analyst, it appears that Crochet will remain with the team for the foreseeable future.
Stone expressed his doubt that Crochet would be traded, stating that he believes Crochet will continue wearing the White Sox uniform proudly for some time. While Crochet has been involved in trade rumors this summer, he is not alone as other players like Luis Robert Jr., Michael Kopech, Tommy Pham, and Erick Fedde could also potentially be on the move come July 30th.
As MLB’s deadline approaches, trades are becoming more likely. Stone explained how it can be an unsettling experience for players to see their names in trade rumors but emphasized that it is just part of the business of baseball. It remains to be seen what moves the White Sox will make ahead of the deadline but fans can follow updates on their trades by tuning into the White Sox Talk Podcast.
