Max Fried's deal & Dylan Cease trade rumors impact on White Sox's hopes to deal Garrett Crochet

Locked On White Sox - Daily Podcast On The Chicago White Sox

Max Fried signed a huge deal with the New York Yankees that takes an elite free-agent pitcher off the market. While that should help the Chicago White Sox attempt to deal Garrett Crochet, suddenly, a former Sox ace is possibly on the market, Dylan Cease. That could pivot ideal trade partners away from Crochet and toward Cease.

Host Todd Welter breaks down why the San Diego Padres might be willing to deal Cease and how it can impact Crochet's trade market.

Then Todd takes a look at the options the Sox have in the Rule 5 Draft today. Finally, it is a Wayback Wednesday look at the Winter Meetings trade the Sox last made involving a pitcher when they traded Dane Dunning for Lance Lynn.
