Garrett Crochet, the frontline starter of the White Sox, has been a hot topic in trade rumors and reports this summer. There have been suggestions that the team intends to trade him before the deadline. However, White Sox analyst and former pitcher Steve Stone addressed these reports during the team’s series finale against the Rockies. Stone expressed doubt that Crochet would be leaving the team, stating that he believes Crochet will continue wearing the White Sox uniform proudly for some time.
Crochet is not the only White Sox player who has been involved in trade rumors this summer. The team is expected to be sellers at the July 30 deadline, and other players like Luis Robert Jr., Michael Kopech, Tommy Pham, and Erick Fedde could potentially be on the move as well. Player trades are common in MLB, especially as the trade deadline approaches.
Stone, who was traded twice during his career, explained that it can be an unsettling experience for players to see their names in trade rumors. However, he noted that it’s just part of the business of baseball. He also reminded fans that trades can happen suddenly and without warning, so they should keep an eye on updates from reliable sources like White Sox Talk Podcast for more information about any potential trades involving their favorite players.
