The Padres used a Juan Soto trade as a way to acquire young pitching. The White Sox see Garrett Crochet in a similar light, with the goal to add multiple young hitters.

The free agent and trade markets will soon heat up, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to be busy as usual. After winning their second World Series title in five years, the team will likely look into adding some starting pitching.

The New York Mets are one of the top teams in the Garrett Crochet trade sweepstakes and they could move a package of prospects to acquire the $3 million ace.
