Analyst Believes Trading For 1 Pitcher Would Put Phillies Over The Top

The Philadelphia Phillies’ 2024 season ended disappointingly, as they lost their first playoff series to the New York Mets.
After being on the verge of a World Series title in 2022 and 2023, the team’s loss in the National League Division Series seemed disappointing.
The Phillies will be looking to make some moves this offseason to get them over the hump and win their third World Series title in franchise history.
MLB Analyst Jeff Joyce believes that the addition of one starting pitcher this offseason could boost this Phillies lineup.
“Garrett Crochet could put the Phillies over the top,” Joyce said.

Joyce mentions a few contending teams that would benefit from adding Crochet, but the Phillies have the roster already in place where the addition of Crochet could give them the final boost they need in their postseason run in 2025.
Crotchet was the one bright spot in a miserable season for the Chicago White Sox in 2024.
While the team lost 121 games, Crotchet started 32 games and held a record of 6-12 with a 3.58 ERA and 209 strikeouts in 146.0 innings pitched.
Crotchet was involved in trade talks during the 2024 season, but he ended up staying put.
Now that the offseason is here, the trade talks have continued as Crotchet put together the best season of his career after coming into the league in 2020.
The Phillies already have a solid one/two punch of starting pitchers including Aaron Nola and Zach Wheeler, so adding Crotchet would only make the rotation better.
Crotchet likely wants to join a team that is ready to contend next year, and the Phillies could be the best fit.
