Part 4/7:
The Cincinnati Reds emerge as a surprisingly strong candidate for a Crochet trade. With young talent like Hunter Greene and Andrew Abbott already leading their rotation, adding Crochet could significantly enhance their competitive edge. The Reds possess a wealth of young positional players, which could entice the White Sox in a trade scenario.
One suggested package includes Cristian Encarnacion-Strand, Cam Collier, and D'Elie Marte—offering the White Sox a combination of proven capability and developmental potential. Such trades could offer the Reds much-needed flexibility while also addressing the White Sox's search for impactful batting.
