  • The trade market for Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet has another team for the Baltimore Orioles to compete with. It is no secret that the Baltimore Orioles are in the market for some pitching help this offseason.

The article from SI.com discusses the Baltimore Orioles' interest in acquiring Chicago White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet as the MLB trade deadline approaches. Crochet, a left-handed pitcher, has shown impressive performance this season with a 3.02 ERA and 141 strikeouts over 101.1 innings, making him an attractive option for teams looking to bolster their pitching staff. The Orioles, who are currently leading the AL East, are in need of starting pitching depth due to injuries and inconsistent performances from their current rotation. However, acquiring Crochet won't be straightforward as several other teams, including the Dodgers, Padres, and Rangers, are also in the market for starting pitchers. The White Sox, being in a rebuilding phase, are likely to demand a high price for Crochet, potentially involving top prospects from the Orioles' farm system. The article highlights the competitive nature of the trade market and the strategic considerations the Orioles must weigh in their pursuit of Crochet.
