The San Diego Padres are facing a pressing need to bolster their starting rotation, highlighted by Joe Musgrove's uncertain return timeline due to injury.
The San Diego Padres need to add another arm to the starting rotation. That much was confirmed on Wednesday when Joe Musgrove clarified his injury and revealed that he doesn't have a timeline for his return.earlier this week said that the Padres were interested in starting pitcher Garrett Crochet of the Chicago White Sox. But one source cautioned on Wednesday night that no deal was close.
The biggest obstacle for Preller in completing a trade for Crochet is that the White Sox don't have to trade him. The 24-year-old is arbitration-eligible for the next two seasons and earning only $800,000 this season. Crochet is also the ace of the White Sox staff with a 3.49 ERA in 13 starts and has a high asking price. The expected widespread interest in Crochet could lead to general manager Chris Getz receiving a haul too good to turn down as Getz looks to build for the future.Maren Angus-Coombs was born in Los Angeles and raised in Nashville, Tenn. She is a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University and has been a sports writer since 2008.
