The Orioles and Red Sox are well stocked with the position-player talent Chicago seeks. While the O's surrendered some prospects at the deadline, this may be their best hope for an ace. Ultimately, they may have trouble outbidding bigger markets for Corbin Burnes.
Crochet was the subject of countless trade rumors during the season, but ended up staying with the Chicago White Sox after his market died down a bit following his comments about not pitching in the postseason unless he signed an extension with whichever team traded for him.
Now that the season is finished, Crochet's market has heated back up. After an All-Star season in which the 25-year-old lefty recorded a 3.58 ERA and had a stunning 12.9 SO/9, teams are once again ready to try and acquire the White Sox star.
With new owner David Rubenstein now at the helm, the Orioles are also expected to be very aggressive this offseason. For the Red Sox, their top eight prospects are all position players.
