Garrett Crochet's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Boston Red Sox are unlikely to deal their top prospects in a trade for Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet, according to Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam of the Fenway Rundown Podcast. McAdam emphasized that the Red Sox are not interested in discussing any packages including outfielder Roman Anthony and potentially another member of the Big 4, which includes backstop Kyle Teel, shortstop Marcelo Mayer, and infielder/outfielder Kristian Campbell. However, McAdam noted that the Red Sox remain very interested in talks surrounding Crochet but would prefer to keep at least two of their top four prospects. Crochet was one of the top pitchers in fantasy baseball last season and held a strong 3.58 ERA, and a 1.07 WHIP with a stellar 35.1% strikeout rate across a career-high 146 innings of work.

Chicago White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet is certain to generate plenty of trade interest this offseason after he was one of the most sought after-players at last summer's trade deadline in late July. "Based on conversations I've had with other clubs when we talk about potential trades, Garrett certainly garners a lot of attention," general manager Chris Getz said. Unless the team thinks they can sign the 25-year-old southpaw to an extension, moving him -- he has two years of club control left -- might be the best course of action for the rebuilding White Sox. Outfielder Luis Robert Jr., meanwhile, is less likely to be moved. He was an All-Star in 2023 but struggled this past season with a .224/.278/.379 slash line, 14 home runs, 35 RBI and 23 steals in 100 games.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet got just four pitches into Tuesday's game against the Rangers before it was ultimately suspended due to rain. The game will resume on Wednesday as part of a straight doubleheader, with Chris Flexen picking up the game and then a bullpen game for Game 2. This is a real shame for fantasy managers, who essentially missed a start from Crochet. Assuming the White Sox stay on schedule otherwise, Crochet's next start would be Sunday against the Mets. The 25-year-old has produced solid numbers this season. However, things have gone downhill for him in the second half with a 6.75 ERA in 21 1/3 innings pitched.
