The MLB trade deadline is approaching, which means we will be hearing a whole lot about potential Guardians trades, especially involving starting pitchers.
The Cleveland Guardians need starting pitching, and Chicago White Sox ace Garrett Crochet may end up being the best pitcher available at the MLB trade deadline.Bowden has Cleveland sending starting pitcher Gavin Williams and prospects Ralphy Velazquez and Alex Clemmey to the White Sox in exchange for Crochet.
However, Williams is just 24 years old and was a highly-regarded prospect going into his rookie campaign last year, when he went 3-5 with a 3.29 ERA over 16 starts. Given how highly Williams has been touted and the fact that Velasquez is just 19 years old and is already mashing, this may seem like a rather steep price to pay for Crochet, who has a Tommy John surgery in his rearview mirror and had never made a start prior to 2024.
Of course, Cleveland may have to pay an AL Central tax in any trade with the White Sox. Chicago is not going to want to give Crochet to a division rival. So, the Sox may end up asking for more in return from the Guardians than they would from, say, the St. Louis Cardinals.
