White Sox Analyst Steve Stone Dispels Rumors: Garrett Crochet Likely to Stay with Team for Foreseeable Future

White Sox analyst Steve Stone has expressed his belief that Garrett Crochet is not likely to be traded before the deadline, despite reports suggesting otherwise. The team is expected to be sellers at the July 30 deadline and several players, including Crochet, Luis Robert Jr., Michael Kopech, Tommy Pham, and Erick Fedde, may be on the move. However, Stone believes that Crochet will continue to wear the White Sox uniform proudly for the foreseeable future.

Crochet is just one of many White Sox players who have been mentioned in trade rumors this season. The team’s recent series finale against the Rockies was no exception as Bob Nightengale reported on Sunday morning that the team plans to trade Crochet before the deadline. However, Stone dismissed this idea and shared his perspective on what this time of year is like for players who are the subject of trade rumors. He explained that it can be unsettling to see or hear your name in connection with a possible trade, but it is a part of the business that players have to accept.

As the MLB trade deadline approaches on July 30 at 5 p.m., speculation around trades will only continue to grow. The team’s decision to sell off some of its top prospects could result in significant changes to its roster and impact its performance in the second half of the season. However, Stone believes that Crochet will remain a valuable member of the team and contribute to its success moving forward.
