The Philadelphia Phillies attempted to sign one of the best pitchers in the game during the deadline.
It didn't come as much of a surprise that he didn't get dealt for a few different reasons. For one, the White Sox don't have any reason to trade him. He's still under team control for the next few seasons, allowing them to have one of the better pitchers in Major League Baseball for a cheap price.
"In the final 24 hours, both the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies made offers for Crochet that the Chicago White Sox considered attractive, according to sources briefed on the discussions.""He is under club control for two more seasons. And he has emerged as an ace in his first season as a starter, with an expected ERA in the top seven percent of the league and a strikeout rate in the top 3 percent.
He doesn't look to be slowing down, but with a higher workload than ever before, it was a warranted decision from Philadelphia to pass on him for a package they weren't comfortable moving.
