White Sox Eye Prospects from Top Teams
Lately, the White Sox have targeted the Padres, Dodgers, and Mariners’ farm systems, hinting at their trade deadline strategy. Scouts noted prospects like Garrett Crochet, Michael Kopech, and Tommy Pham catching Padres’ attention. Luis Robert Jr. also stands out but has performance concerns due to past injuries and inconsistent play.
The Padres, under A.J. Preller, scrutinize their top prospects, including Leodalis De Vries and Ethan Salas. Past heavy trades for players like Juan Soto show Preller’s boldness. Nonetheless, reports suggest that no blockbuster deals are expected this deadline. The Padres might still shift their approach due to new management.
Teams tackling pitching shortages face hurdles with players like the Angels’ Sandoval and Marlins’ Luzardo unavailable. The Guardians, for example, look internally for solutions while aiming to add to their roster. Improving forms from pitchers like Triston McKenzie could be game-changers amid a competitive landscape.
