Frequently Asked Questions
Why do the White Sox need to trade for an outfield bat when they have the best record in MLB?
While the Sox have the best record and run differential, they can't keep relying on Billy Hamilton and Leury Garcia as everyday players since they're better suited as bench pieces. Adam Eaton has also struggled badly after his fast start.
What would it cost the White Sox to trade for Joey Gallo?
Gallo's price shouldn't be astronomical since he's controlled through 2022. A package of a few lower-level pitching prospects with upside plus someone like Gavin Sheets could likely bring him to the South Side.
Why would the Mariners trade Mitch Haniger if he's having such a productive season?
Seattle doesn't seem to have a future spot for Haniger in their outfield thanks to Kyle Lewis, Jared Kelenic, and top prospect Julio Rodriguez. He may prove most valuable to them in a trade for more assets.
Is there any realistic chance the Cubs would trade Kris Bryant to the White Sox?
The Cubs would have to be absolutely blown away by an offer, especially given Bryant's strong season and the fact that the Quintana trade already looks like robbery for the Sox. Any Bryant trade would likely only happen if the Cubs fall further back in the standings.
When could Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert return to the White Sox lineup?
The article suggests both injured stars could return in September, which would create an incredibly deep and intimidating lineup for opposing pitchers when combined with any potential trade acquisition.
