Could the Padres land Garrett Crochet from the White Sox? You never know
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet pitches against the San Diego Padres during the second inning at Petco Park on Friday, Sept. 20, 2024 in San Diego, CA. Time to behold the A.J. Preller Effect on baseball’s national media, as they report and pontificate on potential splashy trades or free-agent signings to come.
If this MLB era were transplanted back to the mid-1920s, the reportorial schtick would read like this: Olney lists Phillies trade-maker Dave Dombrowski as the top candidate to get Crochet, followed next by… yep … him. “With Cease and Michael King a year from free agency and Joe Musgrove expected to miss next season following elbow surgery, Crochet would be a big help for the San Diego rotation for at least a couple of years.”Olney suggests that, according to “some rival evaluators,” an offer might have to involve either or both of the teenagers who head San Diego’s list of prospects —I base this entirely on what a sharp MLB scout with a neutral club told me this summer.
