So, as you all know, the MLB trade deadline has come and gone with a flurry of deals. But there's one player who didn't change teams and caused quite a stir: Chicago White Sox ace Garrett Crochet.
There was a great expectation that the left-handed pitcher would be traded, as he and the White Sox couldn't reach a contract extension agreement. However, there were some complications in the negotiation. Crochet made it clear that he wanted to remain a starter for the rest of the season, even though he has already more than doubled his previous career high in innings pitched. Additionally, he was seeking an extension to pitch in the playoffs.
Another complicating factor was the astronomical price the White Sox were asking for in exchange for Crochet. According to Jack Harris of the L.A. Times, the Dodgers were reluctant to include their top prospects in the deal, especially catcher Dalton Rushing.
Rushing is currently ranked the top prospect in the Dodgers’ farm system by MLB Pipeline. The 23-year-old is having an excellent season with Double-A Tulsa, hitting .260/.370/.473, with 15 doubles, 13 home runs, and 51 RBIs through 72 games.
The Dodgers made multiple attempts to acquire Crochet but were not comfortable parting with Rushing, who could be an important part of their future or a potential trade down the line.
Other Dodgers prospects the White Sox presumably may have targeted include River Ryan, Josue De Paula, and Jackson Ferris.
