Red Sox/MLB Atlanta’s Chris Sale wins the National League Cy Young Award

With Bob Nightengale reporting, its safe to assume that the Phillies are not in on Crochet. Its kinda sad seeing that all these reports are coming from Bob Nightengale. It seems like hes just shooting out proposals and hoping one lands to say, “see, I am credible”.

The Athletic just published an articled stating that a Red Sox package of Casas, Abreu, and Wong would "get close" to acquiring Crochet.

I wouldn't make that deal if I were Craig Breslow.

Too much top of the rotation talent in free agency to make that deal

Chicago should wait out the FA market. I'm not saying that I'd be ok with Abreu, Wong and Casas for Crochet at all.

But if we're sitting here on February 1 and all the big arms have gone to other teams, I worry that Breslow would panic and do that or something similar.

I don't see how Crochet is that much better than Fried/Burnes that you wouldn't just sign the free agents instead of trading prospects and roster pieces. You'll have to extend Crochet since he's a UFA in two years anyway, so it's not like you've got 7 years of team control at $2.5 million.

I was okay with something around Abreu as the centerpiece but if Casas is included, it still makes no sense to me.
