Is this a one-year gamble or a sign of a win-now mentality? And how does this all connect to the Yankees, another team linked to both players? Could we see a three-team mega-deal?
The starting pitching market is exploding. Every top free agent pitcher has exceeded expectations, setting the stage for a potential trade frenzy. Crochet’s move to Boston is just the beginning. Teams like the Mariners and Padres, previously hesitant, are now fielding calls on Castillo and Cease. Are we on the verge of a domino effect, with more teams joining the fray? Which teams are secretly considering making a splash?
