Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow admitted the club would seek out every measure to acquire high-end talent.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN MLB insiders Jeff Passan and Buster Olney this week previewed the biggest names to keep an eye on during the winter. One name they\u2019re keeping an eye on for a potential trade is Garrett Crochet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a slam dunk he\u2019s going to be traded, and the two teams I\u2019m watching are the Mets and the Red Sox,\u201d Olney told Passan on \u201cBaseball Tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeams that are trying to acquire Crochet know that he will sign an extension,\u201d Passan added.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>New York is expected to be a major player in the offseason market. However, Crochet is exactly the front-end starter Boston needs.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old was one of the few bright spots for the Chicago White Sox in the 2024 season. He recorded a 3.58 ERA and 1.068 WHIP in 146 innings, which earned him his first All-Star nod. The biggest question with Crochet is whether he can keep up his production. The 2024 season was his first as a starter, and he missed the 2022 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Crochet was a popular name before the trade deadline but wasn\u2019t moved, so the White Sox could try to seek out as much value as they could. However, it could be a calculated risk Breslow and his staff could take.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pair of ESPN MLB insiders previewed the biggest storylines of the offseason and will be &#8220;watching&#8221;
