Nothing is ever guaranteed in baseball, though the safest bet of the offseason is the Chicago White Sox trading ace Garrett Crochet. The ChiSox somewhat surprisingly did not move Crochet at the deadline, possibly because he demanded an extension in exchange for pitching in the postseason, but Chicago is unlikely to keep him this winter. Crochet’s trade value has never been higher and now is the time for the 121-loss White Sox to cash him in as a trade chip.
