Los Angeles Dodgers are actively pursuing Chicago White Sox left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet as a key offseason target.
At just 25 years old, Crochet is coming off his best MLB season, making him an attractive option for the Dodgers.
The Dodgers are competing with the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles for Crochet’s services, with a strong advantage due to their young talent pool.
Previous trade negotiations for Crochet fell through when the White Sox requested top prospect Dalton Rushing, which the Dodgers declined.
Crochet has two years of team control remaining with a low salary of $800,000, enhancing his appeal as a cost-effective addition.
Last season, Crochet was named an American League All-Star, recording 209 strikeouts and pitching 146 innings, a significant improvement from previous years.
The potential acquisition of Crochet could provide immediate reinforcement to the Dodgers’ pitching rotation and long-term benefits for the franchise.
