White Sox front-line starter Garrett Crochet has been the center of trade rumors and reports this summer, with some sources reporting that the team plans to trade him before the deadline. However, White Sox analyst Steve Stone dismissed this idea during the team’s series finale against the Rockies, expressing his belief that Crochet is not likely to be traded and will continue to wear the White Sox uniform proudly for the foreseeable future.
Several other White Sox players have also been mentioned in trade rumors this season, as the team is expected to be sellers at the July 30 deadline. This means that several players may be on the move, including Crochet, Luis Robert Jr., Michael Kopech, Tommy Pham, and Erick Fedde. Sell-offs like this one are common in MLB, and as the deadline approaches, reports and rumors about potential trades will only increase.
Stone, who was traded twice during his playing career, shared his perspective on what this time of year is like for players who are the subject of trade rumors. He explained that it can be unsettling to see or hear your name in connection with a possible trade, but it is a part of the business that players have to accept. The MLB trade deadline is set for 5 p.m. on July 30
