Former White Sox top draft picks Garrett Crochet, Carlos Rodon, and Chris Sale now thrive with other teams, collecting large contracts. Crochet, representing the Sox at the All-Star event, has a stellar record in 2025, leading the majors in innings and strikeouts. He recently signed a significant contract with the Red Sox. While Chicago fans reflect on these players' successes, there is a bittersweet recognition of their absence from the White Sox's lineup, culminating in speculation about future team dynamics.
"Boston has been treating me great, as good as I could ask for, a true pro organization, and I'm really enjoying everything that's going on behind the scenes as well," he said.
"Crochet, 10-4 with a 2.23 ERA, threw his first career shutout Saturday against the Rays, a 100-pitch, nine-strikeout gem that left him leading the majors in both innings (120⅓) and Ks (160) at the break."
