I hear you there, I just think it’s an idle threat. If he’s healthy he would pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he us right to be concerned about his health pitching in to October. So I don't blame him for wanting some insurance. It's worth a shot to see if a team will bite on it.

supernuke Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I just can't see a deal happening unless he is traded at a discount. Even without the extension threat how bad would a GM look trading multiple high end prospect only to have his big acquisition unavailable in October. Other teams would have to be having that risk factor into their offers. There may be interest but I bet it is not at the cost that many would find acceptable.

I think we all knew that going into the season. What we didn't know was that Crochet was going to be a starter of this quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams are buying two seasons and three playoff runs. They’ll work with him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I don’t really see the point of pitching Crochet today. Nothing good can come of it. Everyone knows a move is imminent just hold him out. I’m starting to get the sinking feeling that Getz is going to completely mis-handle the deadline. It’s not surprising but I was hoping he’d stun and make a couple impactful moves.

And some people seem to think the shorter outing before ASB pissed him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team who acquires him would probably prefer these extra innings for themselves. I want to keep crochet so I'm fine pitching him but Getz is trying to move him.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did his demands scare enough teams away that now you just do it in the offseason where more teams will be back in without his extension demand?
