At this point, it would be a blunder if the CWS didn’t trade him by 6pm ET today. Yeah the next two months of Crochet pitching are extremely valuable and the White Sox need to convert that into future wins. The return is only going to get worse from here Crochet cut off his own hand to spit his face. Ill advised and really poorly timed. I'm all for guys advocating for the best deals for themselves, but a contract is a contract. You don't get to keep the money if you don't show up. I'm always leery of guys like this, Ellsbury was like than when he was here and he had Boras whispering in his ear. We all could see the writing on the wall that he was gone as soon as he could for the highest bidder, and how did that work out for the Yankees?

Oakland set-up man Ecreg to Royals - was lost in Mason Miller’s shadow but pretty nasty. He had multiple years of control I like it when the Yankees or Orioles pay 2024 deadline prices, but not when the Royals do because I doubt i will care about how good the Royals are ever again

The return is only going to get worse from here I'm not so sure that's true. If his market craters because of Crochet's power play, then it'd almost certainly be a better idea to wait until his power play no longer has any power. It's not as though Crochet can veto a trade; so what is he going to say in November or December to make teams not want him? I won't pitch in the playoffs if I don't get an extension? For me, I don’t think the impedance has to do with his power play as much as the questions surrounding whether he can continue starting down the stretch. If he’s limited to 3-4 innings a start, is moved to the bullpen or gets injured after the deadline, his value absolutely takes a big hit.

Curious to see what the return is for the Tigers. Chafin is one of the more reliable RP arms that’s on the market.

Where on earth are the Royals getting players of any value to make trades???

I'll take the over. I don't think they are done. I expect a NetFlix-worthy deal to cross in the next couple of hours. Time will tell. Another SP could put Bello, Criswell and Winck in the pen from the original SP pool. My guess is Rotation: Houck, Snell or Anderson, Pivetta, Crawford, Paxton The healthy of: RHRP: Jansen, Martin, Hendriks, Slaten, Sims, Kelly, Bello, Criswell, Winckowski LHRP: Bernardino, Booser, Horn, Penrod I can even see them dealing Jansen in a deal for a guy like Painter, if they move controllable pitching to SF in a deal for Snell. Just ideas... but I feel like something fun is probably coming. Nice ideas. Although, I don't see the Sox moving any of their top ten prospects or a Pivetta or Jansen (disrupting the current clubhouse guys). With the trading values so high, I think they will wait the next two hours and see if there's any last minute clearance bargains or pickup up another player on the margins that they hope to fix.

I really hope Tampa doesn’t trade Yandy to the Yankees.

Yeah, I agree with that too - bottom line is, Crochet could definitely have more value to teams this offseason than he does right now. Not without risk of course, he could blow out his elbow next week.

AJ Preller was “aggressive” even before potentially being in job saving mode and is out Musgrove (elbow) and Darvish (restricted list for unknown reasons) - I just can’t imagine he doesn’t make some insane trade by 6 pm

Erceg cost the Royals #11 and #16 prospects in a bad system. I would have been okay beating that.
