Chicago White Sox: How Valuable Are Their Trade Pieces?
By Jeremy Karll
The Chicago White Sox want to make a couple of more blockbuster trades, but which player has the most value?
Despite pulling off two blockbuster trades this summer, the Chicago White Sox are seemingly not done making moving players. Trading away Jose Quintana before Opening Day might not happen like the White Sox hoped for, but it’s evident they’re still trying to trade away veterans for younger pieces and prospects.
While their team is mostly filled with underwhelming players who will eventually be replaced with younger and better players, the White Sox still have some solid pieces. They have undoubtedly committed to a rebuild, so they need to continue to add prospects in favor of veterans.
They might not be able to find a suitor that meets their high demands until closer to the trade deadline, but it’s never bad to know how much value their trading pieces have. It’s especially true since Chicago has been active.
The four players Chicago has been rumored to center a trade around are Quintana, David Robertson, Todd Frazier, and Jose Abreu. Also, a player no one has talked about is Melky Cabrera, who is in the last year of his contract and could be moved at some point this season.
The White Sox have pieces they want to move, now it’s just a matter of another team meeting their high demands. Here’s a look at which one has the most value on the trade market heading into the season.
