Hours after USA Today’s Bob Nightengale dropped a bomb that the White Sox were intending to trade Garrett Crochet, the 6’6” left-hander took the mound for his 18th start of the season.
Nightengale’s report isn’t the first trade rumor that Crochet has been involved in, but it’s certainly the loudest. Crochet’s name has been floated as a possible trade candidate for weeks but the 25-year-old hadn’t let the outside noise affect his performance. He remained unphased once again on Sunday.
