The New York Mets are actively seeking starting pitching for the upcoming season and have their sights set on acquiring Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox. With key pitchers Luis Severino and Sean Manaea entering free agency, adding a talent like Crochet, who had a strong 2024 season, is a logical move.

White Sox GM Chris Getz emphasized the team's need for position players in any trade involving Crochet, indicating a focus on improving their offense. The Mets have several promising position players in their system that could potentially meet this need.
