Should the White Sox trade Garrett Crochet? What will it take to extend him?

Imagine a rotation of Reynaldo, Crochet, Cease, Sale, and Fedde...

Wait for a stock split and ride it back up. Was me I'd offer the extension. If the team can afford Benintendi at 75 million while getting back maybe change for a nickle in value, the team can offer Crochet at least that much to lock him in for a few more years.

Oh no! He is his awesome pitcher. Just let him stay with us. We need his help more this year.

Okay say if we do get a top prospect for him. And he does really well for us. Are we going to do the same thing with him? We can’t afford to keep him, so let’s trade him. This team will never have any stability, because we keep trading away good players. If that’s the case, why don’t we just sell the ball club to a individual who will sign these players and make a commitment to the fan base, that if we have a good player we will sign that player to a long term contract. This is just my opinion and you don’t have to agree with it.

Let's go Cubs...go get this kid

Jerry doesn't give pitchers long high earning contracts. I would obviously extend but I'm not the Devil in Jerry. I would trade Robert instead. If we deal both we can complete rebuild our farm system.

May be for a good play

While the O's are absolutely loaded with great prospect bats, they aren't a good fit for Crochet. They need rotation help now and the rest of the year and Crochet isn't that. They'd be a good fit for Fedde. If Crochet is still available in the offseason so he can start and finish in the rotation next year that's a different story. Fedde is actually perfect for them since he has 1.5 years of control and the O's will get Bradish and Means back towards the end of next year.

The purpose of trades is to improve your team. The only players that give you shot at future improvement are Crochet, Robert, Vaughm, Kopech and maybe Fedde. Everybody else gets you nothing. If you trade the first four for prospects then you are looking at 26 at the soonest to be competitive. So the Sox will be a 50 win game winner again next year. Do you sell again next year? When do you stop selling? At some point you have to hold on to your capital. Rebuilds usually fail. Every once in a while you get a team like Baltimore who wins the lottery and multiple prospects pan out. That is what everyone focuses on but it is rare to get more than one great player of your prospects. What do you get by trading Crochet? A shot at maybe replacing him 3 years from now.

I would extend him. He’s young enough to be on the next good Wsox team. IK they are historically bad but it doesn’t hurt to spend money at this point.

They absolutely should extend him he deserves it and jerry owes us make him your first hundred million

If we trade him, what kind of starting staff will we have. I don’t like are people who evaluate other teams talent. Name me one individual that we acquired in a trade, that has made a major impact on the parent ball club.

Trading Crochet for a couple of top Outfield prospects makes some sense. Trading any other young pitchers does not. Teams can never have enough pitching. Sox have good prospects at Catcher and Infield, they are weak in outfield prospects, with only Zavala, Veras, and Wolkow looking like they may be major leaguers at some point.

Danks the worst extension while being a cautionary tale regarding the signing of pitchers to long term contracts, and Benintendi the worst free agent contract. By far. In either case, even before the disaster each proved to be, their previous history (so expectations) for both didn't anywhere near merit the kind of money they signed for.

If his arm is healthy keep him. They can dump the rest of the team for prospects.

To be honest I would trade Robert instead

Billy Pierce was better than Sale or Buehrle. For instance, he had more career shutouts at 38 than either had complete games.

lol if you think he's not getting north of 200 million as a 25 year old cy young candidate.

What are you guys talking about you could have crochet and Noah Schultz at the top of your rotation Drew Thorpe Cannon you could win right now trade all the other guys besides those two stop buying into the crap you guys must get paid for this
