Garrett Crochet is a player that the Chicago White Sox would like to move, but they are not giving him up lightly. According to USA Today, the organisation rejected a trade deal for the pitcher from the San Diego Padres. As of this writing, it is unclear why the White Sox turned down the offer.
The Chicago team is currently in complete collapse. For the second straight season, the team is expected to lose far over 100 games. The White Sox have a miserable 27-70 record going into Sunday’s games. According to USA Today, the organisation is willing to move almost anybody before the MLB trade deadline on July 30.
The White Sox trade rumours that are circulating
This season, no baseball fan is more irate than those who support the White Sox. The club is not just losing games quickly, but they are also always hearing rumours about players who might be leaving. Among the players for Chicago who are frequently the subject of rumours is Crochet. It seems like the administration is vacillating about how to handle the pitcher on a regular basis. It’s possible that the management is unsure of their goals for him. Another team that has shown interest in the pitcher is the New York Yankees.
In addition to Crochet, outfielder Luis Robert Jr. of Chicago is another player generating a lot of trade talk. This season, the outfielder has had a lot of trouble at the plate. Robert appears to be hitting his stride in July. Even with his current season average of.222, he is still hitting far below his lifetime average. Only 23 runs have been batted in by him this season. According to USA Today, the White Sox are growing increasingly certain that they can move Robert. The outfielder acknowledged the trade rumours, but stated he wanted to stay in Chicago.
Pedro Grifol, the manager of Chicago, appears to be its lone pillar. It is anticipated that the team would retain the troubled manager through to the end of the season, despite rumours that he will be fired in the middle of the campaign. Fans are criticising Grifol for the team’s awful performance. Grifol’s day-to-day management of the team has drawn criticism even from former White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen.
On Sunday, the White Sox aim to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are gaining momentum. Teams kick off at 2:10 Eastern. It remains to be seen how long this soap opera will last before the White Sox take the required steps to field a winning club once more.
