Sounds like a bunch of teams want him on their team very badly and they’re doing everything they can to try and lower his price. Sox will still get a HAUL for him

There’s teams we’re not talking about either DBacks, Red Sox, Cubs, Brewers, Mariners could trade for Crochet and swap one of their pitchers for a big bat, Guardians, Rays, etc. Crochet being controllable opens up so many possibilities for teams who aren’t just looking for this year but next also

Wheeler, Nola, Crochet That wins you a WS IMO Get Aidan Miller back too

So who do we want as the next manager??

Well we all know the Sox have players other teams want, those other teams are calling/texting Chris Getz and Josh Barfield shooting the sh*t asking what they’d need in return for Robert, Crochet, Fedde, Kopech, Brebia, Pham, etc, hell probably even as you read this post Getz just got a text. Think it’s fair to assume they’ve spoken to every team in playoff contention about a number of possibilities and none of those teams have met the asking price to move those players right now.

That’s fine with me I’m just saying if the O’s are asking for him it’s gotta start with Mayo or Basallo + Kjerstad other I’m just moving on

Robert Murray on his Baseball Insiders podcast today starting at 23:50 had some interesting info specifically speaking to scouts, players, agents that he spoken to about Crochet. If he goes to the Orioles, Sox need to get Mayo or Holliday back, sorry not sorry, his upside is insane and this is his first year as a starter

I read this as “Hey Dodgers and O’s your offers suck, time to 💩 or get off the pot”

Someone please help convince me otherwise but looking at both Crochet and Skubal’s baseball savant page, they are a lot closer than some make it seem. I understand that Skubal has more starting experience but I’d argue that Crochet has more value because of the less strain on his arm than Skubal. Crochet is 2 years younger and has the same amount of years on his contract. Crochet looks dominant in his 1st year as a starter. Also in the all star game one thing that stood out to me post Skubal’s inning he said something along the lines of “could I not give up a hard hit”. I feel like Getz should be asking for the same package that the Tigers are looking for Skubal. Again I’m biased but I just feel like in the playoffs Crochet can make a bigger impact than Skubal can come playoff time

Or put a package together that includes Mayo and Kjerstad+++ for Crochet and Robert.

I think it’s more likely they make a bigger splash of Luis Robert and Garret Crochet than trading for Skubal especially if they’re talking about trading Cedric Mullins

I think Getz is gonna ask for more than even the Mariners would be willing to give up. I have always felt that the M’s and Randy Arozarena are the perfect match and he shouldn’t cost as much as Robert would. For me it’s the Phillies or potentially a package deal of Robert and Crochet to the O’s for a massive haul including Coby Mayo and Heston Kjerstad

Just thinking in regards to Crochett and the Orioles as a potential landing spot. Kind of cool that Mike Elias is getting some really advanced scouting with Adley catching all three of Skubal, Crochett, and Mason Miller.

There’s zero shot that Jerry Reinsdorf has any clue who a Spencer Jones is.

Still needs to be either Basallo or Mayo for me, if neither are involved then move on and I’m not giving them Fedde either
