DODGERS NEWS: DODGERS' TRADE PURSUIT FOR PITCHER GARRETT CROCHET REBUFFED BY WHITE SOX
The Los Angeles Dodgers are actively seeking to bolster their pitching roster ahead of the trade deadline. With several key pitchers, including Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler, sidelined due to injuries, the team is urgently looking to add a reliable starter.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Dodgers made an offer to the Chicago White Sox for pitcher Garrett Crochet, but the proposal was swiftly declined. The White Sox are reportedly holding out for young prospects with significant potential.
Garrett Crochet is currently one of the top pitchers available on the trade market. He leads Major League Baseball with 141 strikeouts over 18 starts this season. Despite his impressive performance, Crochet's team, the White Sox, holds the worst record in the league.

At 25 years old, Crochet has already pitched more innings this season than in the previous three years combined. He missed the entire 2022 season due to injury. This year, he has maintained a solid 3.02 ERA over 101.1 innings. His talent, combined with an affordable $800,000 salary and two additional years of team control, makes him an attractive target for many teams.
The Dodgers see Crochet as a potential game-changer for their playoff aspirations. With their current rotation plagued by injuries, adding a power arm like Crochet could be crucial for their postseason success.
