Milwaukee Brewers Pursue Garrett Crochet Trade

The Milwaukee Brewers have lost two key players, shortstop Willy Adames to the San Francisco Giants and pitcher Frankie Montas to the New York Mets, highlighting their need for starting pitching ahead of the 2025 MLB season. The Brewers are reportedly interested in trading for Chicago White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet, who had a challenging season but showed potential with 209 strikeouts and a 3.58 ERA. Meanwhile, the Chicago Cubs are exploring trade discussions involving Crochet, indicating multiple teams are after the left-handed pitcher. The Cincinnati Reds previously considered acquiring Crochet but have shifted focus after trading for Brady Singer and retaining Nick Martinez, now prioritizing an outfield power hitter. As the MLB offseason progresses, various teams are actively maneuvering for trades, and Crochet remains a focal point among several teams. The upcoming Winter Meetings are expected to bring significant activity in player transactions across the league.
