The fact that the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired right-hander Jack Flaherty (29) from the Detroit Tigers due to the imminent trade deadline at the end of last month was not a plan B for the failure of Garrett Crochet (25) to trade with the Chicago White Sox. It seems that the Dodgers tried to acquire Flaherty and Crochet simultaneously in the first place.

“In the last 24 hours, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies made an offer to buy Crochet from the Chicago White Sox. And in the last hour, the Dodgers were still talking to the White Sox about a possible deal,” Deerslatic Ken Rosenthal said on the 17th (Korea Standard Time).

The Dodgers announced on March 31 that it would recruit Flaherty. However, it turned out that the attempt to recruit Crochet was also made right before the trade market closed, apart from Flaherty. This makes sense, considering that the Dodgers’ starting lineup is a general hospital this year.

Even so, considering that Flaherty is set to become a free agent this fall, and Crochet is openly seeking an extended contract, the Dodgers’ attempt was surprising. If not for the Dodgers, would it be possible to try to recruit two starting pitchers in the trade market.

Rosenthal said that the White Sox did not accept the Dodgers’ offer in the end. “Crochett almost certainly should not have restricted any prospects,” he said. He added that the Dodgers did not provide Will Smith and Dalton Rushing, the main catcher. If this is true, it can be interpreted that the White Sox had high conditions.

On the other hand, River Ryan, suggested by the Dodgers, said the White Sox refused due to injury. Ryan actually ended the season with Tommy John surgery. In addition, Rosenthal explained that the White Sox have asked for salary assistance from key players in the trade market along with collecting prospects. The trade between Crochet and Louis Robert Jr. does not appear to have been completed due to the stronger-than-expected White Sox.토토사이트 추천

However, Rosenthal said, ” Assuming that Crochet finishes this season healthy, it is almost certain that demand will be high this winter as well.” Ball starting pitchers, even if they are young, will always be in full demand. Crochet is certain to be traded this winter. Whether or not he will sign an extension is a concern
