Starting pitcher Garrett Crochet of the Chicago White Sox has been a popular name in the MLB rumor mill this season. That will only intensify as the July 30 trade deadline nears. Could the Los Angeles Dodgers find a way to land the hard-throwing southpaw?
Borna Nazari of Hog Watch Media proposed the following trade during a Bleacher Report live stream that’d bring Crochet to Hollywood:
Dodgers receive: left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet
White Sox receive: outfielder Josue De Paula, outfielder Zyhir Hope and left-handed pitcher Justin Wrobleski
The Dodgers entered 2024 with the eighth-best farm system, according to MLB.com. They’ve also ranked De Paula (second), Hope (20th) and Wrobleski (14th) within Los Angeles’ top 20 prospects.
De Paula (High-A) and Hope (Single-A) are both years away from being MLB-ready. However, Wrobleski could technically be plugged right into Chicago’s starting rotation. The southpaw has posted a 3.23 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 68 strikeouts in 78 innings between Double-A and Triple-A this season. He also just made his big-league debut on July 7, allowing four runs in five innings against the Milwaukee Brewers.
If the Dodgers landed Crochet before the trade deadline, he’d bring controllable pitching depth to a staff that needs it right now. FanGraphs’ Roster Resource has Wrobleski, Tyler Glasnow, James Paxton, Bobby Miller, Gavin Stone and Landon Knack as L.A.’s current starting five.
