Last year, Crochet's representative, Andrew Nacario, conveyed the message that the pitcher would need a contract extension in order to pitch in the postseason, but interest remained high. The Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves were the best-positioned team to make deals in July.

Among the teams that are in on White Sox All-Star starter Garrett Crochet are the New York Mets, per Jon Heyman.  This shouldn't be even remotely surprising. The Mets are looking to keep their momentum going after making a run to the NLCS and having seen a big portion of their rotation hit free agency.
