The White Sox are reportedly hanging onto Lance Lynn and Lucas Giolito past the deadline.
Giolito has struggled similarly this season. Through 18 starts, Gio has a 6-6 record and 5.14 ERA. He's struck out an impressive 108 to just 36 batters walked. But, his WHIP is nearing 1.5, which is well above his career average 1.23 value.
The two are supposed to be two of the best pitchers in the clubhouse, yet they've been overshadowed by the CY Young case Dylan Cease has created this season and the serendipitous performance of Johnny Cueto thus far. Considering the struggles of the bullpen , Lynn and Giolito's struggles are largely highlighted on the team's overall performance. Their outings become more and more crucial as the race for the AL Central gets tighter.
Expect the Sox to attempt to enhance their bullpen as the trade deadline nears Aug. 2. The team is dealing with injuries on that end and overall underperformance this season. The team is 49-49 and three games back on the division lead. They start a three game series with the Oakland Athletics on Friday.
