Garrett Crochet is a starting pitcher for the Chicago White Sox who has been linked to the Phillies as a potential trade target. Despite Philadelphia's interest, recent rumors indicate that the Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, and Los Angeles Dodgers are more likely landing spots for him. While the Phillies have a strong starting rotation, adding a player of Crochet's caliber could enhance their long-term prospects. However, their decision not to pursue him during the season, particularly by including top prospect Andrew Painter in a trade package, suggests they may not be as serious about acquiring him as previously thought.
