The Dodgers, which collapsed with 639.3 billion won in two punches, built up the cause of the crochet trade...Party "I've been told to throw for all the teams"

The Dodgers put Tyler Glasnow on the 15-day IL due to back stiffness on the 10th (Korea time). Instead, he called up right-hander Michael Peterson from Triple-A."
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said in an interview with local media ahead of the away game against the Philadelphia Phillies that `The All-Star break is in place. We clearly considered that point. But we didn't know when the injury would happen or not`'Glasno suffered back pain playing catch ball last weekend. After the All-Star break, he will be able to come back."
It is said that the injury is not a serious condition. However, since his Major League debut, Glasnow has never filled the regular innings. He made his major league debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2016 and recorded 120 innings last year when he was with the Tampa Bay Rays. In particular, he received Tommy John Surgery in August 2021 and devoted himself to rehabilitation until he took the mound in two games at the end of the 2022 season.
Last year, he suffered a left oblique muscle injury ahead of the season's opening and returned to the game in late May after spending the season on the IL. Last year's record was 10-7 with a 3.53 ERA and 162 strikeouts in 21 games.
The Dodgers, who judged that they had enough ace qualities, signed a five-year, $136.5 million extension contract after acquiring Glasnow through a trade with Tampa Bay in December last year. Immediately after that, the Dodgers, which succeeded in bringing Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto for 12 years and $325 million, were evaluated as building a solid one-two punch with Glasnow. It is a one-two punch worth 461.5 million dollars.
Glasnow has played his part as an ace, starting the opening game this season, but he has shown difficulty in allowing five runs in the last two consecutive games, showing a 'preventive symptom' of injury.
Glasnow, who is 8-5 with a 3.47 ERA in 18 games, pitched 109 innings, allowing 29 walks and striking out 143 - the most in the NL. It shows a WHIP of 0.93 and a hit rate of 0.183. He ranks second overall with an average of 11.81 strikeouts in nine innings. Glasnow was selected as the first All-Star in his career, but he will not be able to take the mound. Instead, Cincinnati Reds fastball pitcher Hunter Green was selected as a substitute for the injured.

If so, it means that Glasnow and Yamamoto may return at the same time, but the problem is that other starters' performances are not good. Bobby Miller, who started against Philadelphia on the day, collapsed by allowing eight runs and 10 hits, including two homers, in four innings. Miller, who appeared like a comet last year and attracted attention as the next-generation ace, has not met expectations at all with one win and two losses and an 8.07 ERA in seven games this season. Moreover, after throwing only three games after the opening of the season, he injured his right shoulder and went on the IL and hung on to rehabilitation for more than two months.
In addition, Gavin Stone, who had been pitching the most stable, raised concerns on the 4th when he twisted with seven hits and four runs in three innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The empty starting positions are currently filled by Landon Neck and Justin Roblesky, and James Paxton is only keeping the rotation with 7-2 losses and 4.24 ERA in 16 games.

Coach Pedro Grifol also said, `All 30 teams want Garrett Crochet. Of course, the Chicago White Sox are included. Everything is done on the business side. I don't think it's a good business not to check (trade inquiries)."
"Frankly, I'm concerned about the trade," Crochet, the party, said of the trade rumors that are emerging. Isn't it inevitable because you always listen and see. But I still have to do my job. Someone wise said, "'Every time you climb the mound, you throw for every team in the league.'"Trading is a fact to be important, but who knows what's going to happen in the world of business. I try to focus on playing hard for my teammates and the team."
Crochet is 6-6 with a 3.08 ERA, 146 strikeouts, a WHIP of 0.97 and a 0.203 hitout rate in 105 ⅓ innings in 19 games this season. It is ranked No. 1 overall in the strikeout category, No. 5 in WHIP, and No. 8 in hit rate. Crochet ranks third in strikeouts in the first half of White Sox history, behind Chris Sale (157) in 2015 and Dylan Sheath (150) in 2022. Having been selected as an All-Star for the first time this year, he is strongly mentioned as an AL starting pitcher.
Crochet, who has been throwing as a bullpen pitcher since his debut in 2020 and has been a big success after turning into a starter this season, has an annual salary of $800,000 (about 1.1 billion won), and he will become an FA only after finishing the 2026 season.
