For the White Sox, a massive return built around a prime position player prospect is probably the best possible scenario, and you'd assume the usual suspects would be involved in conversations - the Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, and Dodgers were interested in July and will be again this winter, with the Yankees and other contenders looking to add a left-hander who will be under team control for two more seasons.
And given Crochet's stated desire for an extension, the acquiring team will probably sign him to a multiyear deal before the start of next season. The Mets are a team to watch.
Every team will want a mid-20s left-handed starter to add to their rotation. A team must trade for him while having the money to sign him to make the move.
The White Sox will trade Crochet this winter. They have a great asset and can turn that into multiple prospects with this move. It will be an arms race of big-market teams vying for his services.
