The Chicago White Sox are facing a decision on whether to build their rotation around pitcher Garrett Crochet or trade him for assets. Crochet is considered a key player alongside center fielder Luis Robert Jr. Fans may see less of Crochet in upcoming games, with the team focusing on other pitchers and prospects. There are concerns about trading for Crochet, as discussed by analyst Bob Nightengale.
Per White Sox notes, Garrett Crochet is second pitcher since at least 1901 to log 115-plus strikeouts with 20 walks or less over first 15 starts, joining the Yankees' Masahiro Tanaka (119 K, 17 BB) in 2014.
