The White Sox are asking for the moon and rightfully so since the game of musical chairs for starting pitchers in free agency may be soon ending and some teams may be left without a seat. With players like Blake Snell and Max Fried already off the market, the urgency for teams to secure top pitchers has intensified. This places the White Sox in a strong negotiating position for Garrett Crochet, making a hefty asking price justifiable.
The Sox have stuck by their high asking price ever since they put him on the market at the trade deadline. They demanded three top prospects for Crochet, which led to one interested team's withdrawal from negotiations. Despite Crochet's potential, teams are cautious due to his injury history and limited starting experience. It seems the White Sox are determined to leverage Crochet's value to its fullest amidst a competitive trade climate.
