The Boston Red Sox are starting to see their starting rotation take a step back and could use the Chicago White Sox's ace.
Would the Boston Red Sox make a blockbuster move at the July 30 trade deadline after years of conservative decision-making?
"The Chicago White Sox quietly engaged in brief contract extension talks with ace Garrett Crochet, but with no optimism towards reaching an agreement, the White Sox intend to trade him by the July 30 trade deadline," USA Today's Bob Nightengale wrote Sunday. "He has already pitched innings as a first-year starter, more than his entire career total entering the season, and the White Sox and Crochet already have a firm plan in place to greatly limit his workload in the second half.
Crochet wrapped up another stellar performance Sunday to further bolster his breakout campaign. The southpaw has a 3.02 ERA with a 141-to-20 strikeout-to-walk ratio, .198 batting average against and a 0.93 WHIP in 101 1/3 innings across 18 starts.
