The Milwaukee Brewers are on the hunt for starting pitching help ahead of the July 30 trade deadline for a deep postseason run, but things may have gone south.
"Several other teams, such as the Braves, Cardinals, Brewers, Nationals and Astros, would love to acquire Crochet, but I don't see how they match up with Chicago in a deal for the lefty," The Athletic's Jim Bowden wrote on Thursday. "And I haven't heard of any traction in Crochet trade talks involving any of those teams."
If Milwaukee has deemed the pricetag for Crochet to be out of their range, which will admittedly be high, the Brewers will need to allocate their time elsewhere as the club desperately needs to bring in a starting pitcher.
