Jon Heyman reports the White Sox are prepared to become sellers at the MLB trade deadline
Two players to keep tabs on are Tim Anderson and Andrew Benintendi. The latter hasn't been included in trade rumors, likely because the White Sox inked him to the franchise's most lucrative deal last winter. Anderson may have trouble garnering trade interest, considering he hit .152 in June and is currently slashing .223/.259/.263 this season.
The name of the game here is value. The White Sox aren't entering a total selloff. If they become sellers, they will likely be looking for the right price on their players to help bolster their assets and farm system. As for the players on expiring contracts, however, such as Giolito, Middleton, Lopez and Joe Kelly, the front office will probably be more lenient with their respective valuations.
The White Sox are 16 games under .500, holding the fourth spot in the AL Central and standing eight games back on the division-leading Cleveland Guardians. At this point, a roster shakeup is inevitable for the Sox, who have struggled to regain traction in the division after starting the season 7-21. Pay close attention to the White Sox, as the Aug. 1 trade deadline could mark a new leaf for the South Side.
