Garrett Crochet and what it may mean

[CJD]

The Athletics aren't going to give up Rooker for him and a lottery ticket prospect.

You'd have to think more Rhett Lowder.

I'd hang up the phone if the Athletics required Lowder for Rooker haha. I think Rooker's value is a bit inflated at the moment. He turned 30 this year and has had just 1 exceptional season under his belt. He's a lot like Crochet in that regard.

But yea, Lodolo is rough. Maybe they'd have to pair him with a higher upside prospect like Tyson Lewis or Chase Petty to get the deal done.

My point is, I'm only interested in trading for Crochet if we convert one of Lodolo or Abbott into an impact bat.
