Sounds like a nifty musical group, but "Crochet and the White Sox Arbs" is the focus right now for this front office. The price for the All-Star pitcher is set, and only some teams can provide the ask. We'll explain why Chris Getz is in his element with this move.

Our only hope is that Getz and Company are watching the Dodgers more than the Yankees as they shape a new franchise direction.
