Speaking of Crochet, the Dodgers are speaking with the White Sox about a possible deal that could also include reliever Michael Kopech and -- ready for this? -- center fielder Luis Robert, according to Nightengale.
That would be a monster deal for the Dodgers, who are obviously always in win-now mode. They have issues with injuries in the rotation and need more lineup depth and this would address both in addition to deepening the bullpen. Plus, Crochet is under team control through 2026 while there are club options on Robert through 2027, so this would be shoring up the next few years just as much as 2024.
