CINCINNATI — The Reds are considered a "viable candidate" to trade for White Sox ace Garrett Crochet according to Jon Morosi of MLB.com.

The Cubs are also considered a realistic candidate.

After signing Nick Martinez and trading for Brady Singer, could the Reds add another starter?

You can never have enough pitching and Crochet appears to be ascending.

The 25-year-old pitched a career-high 146 innings last season, posting a 3.58 ERA and finishing with 209 strikeouts.

Maybe the Reds want to move one of their current starters in a potential trade for a power hitting outfielder. If that's the case, then also adding a pitcher like Crochet would make a ton of sense.

. @MLB trade market update:

The Cubs and Reds are among the viable candidates to acquire White Sox ace Garrett Crochet.

Of note, the Cubs and White Sox have made 4 trades since 2017, beginning with the José Quintana deal. @MLBNetwork
