Garrett Crochet is the type of 'impact' starting pitcher the Dodgers seek at the trade deadline. But several factors could make acquiring him prohibitive.
Garrett Crochet believes he can pitch through October. “With the way my body’s been feeling and responding to the five-day routine,” the Chicago White Sox ace, and top trade deadline target, said at this month’s All-Star Game, “I think that anything’s possible.” But whether he gets the chance, with the Dodgers or any other contending club, grows more seemingly less likely by the day. In theory, someone like Crochet should fit what is perhaps the Dodgers' biggest deadline need.
Acquiring Crochet, who has an extra year of team control compared to Cease, figures to cost at least that much. Crochet’s workload concerns, however, changed the calculation for a team like the Dodgers. If he were unable to serve as a postseason ace this year, it would diminish his short-term value to any contending club. But if he keeps pitching regularly and increases his workload too much, it could create concerns about long-term impacts in the future.
