The Baltimore Orioles starting rotation has played at a high level this season, but recently ran into some injury issues with a couple of starters having their seasons ended early.
With the team in prime playoff position, they should be in win-now mode and searching for the best pitchers they can find on the open market.
Chicago White Sox reliever-turned-starter Garrett Crochet could be the ideal find for not just the long term, but immediate future.
With the deep well of hitting prospects that Baltimore possesses, they could land the young arm to further build out their rotation for the next couple of years.
A potential trade for Crochet could see them send outfielder Heston Kjerstad and pitching prospect Cade Povich to Chicago in return for the starter.
Crochet hit a rough patch in April but his past month was nothing short of spectacular.
In the month of May, the southpaw had a 0.93 ERA across five starts with a 0.724 WHIP.
Four of the White Sox’s nine wins came during one of his starts.
He carried the team on his back last month and could draw a lot of interest because of it.
He’s had an interesting journey over the past couple of seasons and looks to finally be hitting his stride once again.
