The New York Mets fell just short of the World Series in 2024. They could be aggressive in adding a star pitcher this offseason to get to the Fall Classic in 2025.

There are some mock trades where you know only one team’s needs were taken into account. Then there are others so insanely long it stops making sense at all and

A trade pitch from USA Today has the New York Mets landing Garrett Crochet and Luis Robert Jr. in a blockbuster deal with the White Sox.

The New York Mets need to add multiple starting pitchers this winter. Could they find a way to swing a trade with the Chicago White Sox for Garrett Crochet?

The Mets will be major players in free agency, but they have the assets to make a couple of big splashes on the trade market as well. This mock trade would give the Mets two stars to fill clear holes on their roster.

Garrett Crochet is the most obvious trade candidate of the 2024-25 offseason, and multiple clubs have already been linked to the White Sox left-hander both in recent days and dating back to last summer’s trade deadline.

While Juan Soto will cost more than any other free agent, the New York Mets' top offseason priority could be trying to land ace Corbin Burnes.
