White Sox trade rumors intensify as MLB calendar turns to June originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
He white sock They have been active participants in the trading market this year and it appears they still have more moves planned.
“Chicago White Sox definitely plan to trade outfielder Tommy Pham before the deadline,” wrote Bob Nightengale on Sunday. “But they have not yet entered into talks with Atlanta or any other contender.”
Pham has been one of the best players on a disappointing White Sox team since he debuted in late April. Pham has played all three outfield spots and also held the designated hitter spot. In 32 games, he is hitting .287/.333/.411 with three home runs, 12 RBIs and three stolen bases. His .287 average ranks second on the team.
White Sox general manager Chris Getz wasted no time selling valuable players this year. He began by sending ace Dylan Cease to the Padres in March and followed with a steady stream of other transactions. Getz traded Robbie Grossman to the Rangers in early May and moved several minor league players for cash throughout the year.
The team is expected to leave behind many other players besides Pham. Michael Kopech, Chris Flexen, Erick Fedde, Eloy Jiménez and Mike Clevinger have appeared in other trade rumors.
The White Sox also had a fire sale over the course of last season. In 2023, the team traded Jake Burger, Lucas Giolito, Kendall Graveman, Joe Kelly, Reynaldo López and Lance Lynn.
The MLB trade deadline is July 30.
