The White Sox have been actively involved in trade rumors this summer, with frontline starter Garrett Crochet being the most speculated player to leave the team. However, during a recent interview, White Sox analyst and former pitcher Steve Stone expressed his doubt that Crochet would be traded before the deadline. According to Stone, he believes that Crochet will continue to wear the White Sox uniform proudly for some time.
Other White Sox players have also been mentioned in trade rumors, including Luis Robert Jr., Michael Kopech, Tommy Pham, and Erick Fedde. With the July 30 deadline fast approaching, it is expected that the team will be sellers rather than buyers. Stone acknowledged that player trades are common in MLB as the deadline nears, but he emphasized that it can be a difficult experience for players to see their names in trade rumors. He noted that it’s just part of the business of baseball.
The MLB trade deadline is set for 5 p.m. on July 30th and fans can stay updated on any potential trades involving their favorite team by tuning into the White Sox Talk Podcast.
