Episode 107: Garrett Crochet Trade Breakdown + AL Central Org Overviews

Ben and Carlos talk about the Garrett Crochet trade and break down AL Central farm systems on today’s episode. Ben lays out his case for why the Red Sox nailed this move while acknowledging a strong return going in the other direction for the White Sox. That turns into a larger conversation about the strength of the White Sox farm system, and the two generally have positive things to say about the American League Central farms as a whole—with one notable exception. At the end of the show the two take listener questions including: How much does Cam Cannarella’s shoulder impact his draft stock? What do we think about the draft lottery hurting the worst teams? What do we think about the Willy Adames signing and the draft capital given up to do it? Will Roki Sasaki have a deal done before January 15? — Time Stamps (4:00) Garret Crochet trade (10:00) White Sox return (19:00) AL Central teams (20:30) White Sox (34:30) Guardians (52:00) Tigers (1:12:00) Twins (1:30:10) Royals (1:39:00) Listener Questions Do you have a question you want us to answer?
