chitownsportsfan Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I wonder if Crochet likes it in Chicago. He does have some reasons imo. But of course there's the losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, on the MLBTR podcast episode yesterday when they talked about the Sox and the trade deadline, they suggested this as a possibility. If this trade deadline is just Fedde and then a bunch of garbage nothing trades, talk about making a shitty season even worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Wouldn't a contract extension worked out within the trade also increase the return to the White Sox? Isn't that historically how it's worked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that historically how it's worked? I think it would be agreed to and negotiated between after a trade and post-season. That is, if he doesn't change his mind and just pitches. Short version: no, because it's not a part of the trade. Edited July 25 by Bob Sacamano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisox05 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 What's he going to do, leave the team in the postseason and go home if he doesn't get an extension? Seems pretty ridiculous to say that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FT35 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) 9 minutes ago, DirtySox said: Crochet is interested in an extension because he knows his value has never been higher and if he bets on himself for 2 years, there’s a high probability it could go lower than it is now. People are viewing him as elite now (as they should). So I think it makes sense for him to cash in on “elite” money.

He could be worth 25 million if he blows out his shoulder in the next two seasons, at best. Is James a poster here? I've got a bone to pick with him here, it doesn't make any sense. In fact, the very reason he wants to get extended in October is because it makes sense to cash in now, when his value is sky high and he's as healthy as he'll ever be going forward.

T R U Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Just now, Bob Sacamano said: Agreed. That's something that shouldn't be made public. This would hurt negotiations, no? It absolutely kills negotiations because I can't imagine a scenario where a team wants to trade for him and sign him to whatever extension hes looking for in the next few days. There's way too much risk in that for another team who as of right now knows nothing at all about him. And if you believe what has been reported, the Sox already tried to talk extension with him and it went nowhere immediately which tells me his ask is probably not realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) I'm going to change my prediction to Crochet doesn't get moved by the deadline. Would like to be wrong and see both Crochet and Robert gone for hauls. Edited July 25 by Bob Sacamano 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is certainly a potential monkey wrench. And what happens when the team who acquires him calls his bluff? He's still under contract for 2 more seasons so its not like a team risks losing him this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 So is this a situation where the front office wasn’t communicating well with Crochet and his agent the last few months? Not trading him over the next week seems so damn risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
