KBO 20-win monster MVP peer trade suddenly stopped? Fall baseball worries... Is this a solution, a higher-order equation?
"There are growing concerns about the possibility of making the postseason this year."
Garrett Crochet (25) of the Chicago White Sox, the best blue chip in the Major League trade market. His biggest risk is his health. Since his debut in 2020, Crochet pitched 73 innings for three seasons until last year. Playing as a full-time starter for the first time this year, he has played only in the professional bullpen.
But Crochet has already pitched 111 innings this year, 38 more than the ⅓ he has pitched in the last three years. Crochet also missed the 2022 season, when he underwent Tommy John surgery for rehabilitation.
So it's true that it's a blue chip trade, but there are also concerns that Crochet will experience a so-called "spread" phenomenon in the second half of the year. With only five days left until the trade deadline, chances are high that he will move his team, but it's also true that teams trying to recruit Crochet are concerned about his health.
The Athletic reported on the 26th (Korea Standard Time) that this atmosphere is prevalent in the industry. It said, "Croche wants an extension before agreeing to pitch in October." The New York Post's John Heyman also reported that the team that takes Croche will be indifferent to the change of role, such as temporarily moving him to the bullpen if he fails to extend his contract.
Of course. The team that takes Crochet can only use him for two years until he becomes a free agent. However, if he gets hurt, it will be a big deal. If he fails to extend his contract and uses him for a short period of time, his physical risk increases and he will suffer damage. In this case, there is no reason to change his position and protect Crochet's arm.
Ultimately, some agreement on an extension contract will be needed before and after the trade. The Athletic predicted that the team that wants Crochet is likely to trade first and then set the table for an extension contract. At this point, Crochet wants an extension contract, but the White Sox, who will cut ties with Crochet, are clearly not interested.
The Athletic, on the other hand, added that a trade may not be easy if any team is concerned about Crochet's physical condition. However, postseason rivals are unlikely to give up easily given Crochet's physical condition and potential.
In a way, it might be a difficult higher-order equation. Now the trade deadline is almost here. In another article, The Athletic reported that the teams that want Crochet are the Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox, and Texas Rangers.
