The Chicago White Sox are facing a historically poor season, currently enduring a franchise-record 15-game losing streak, prompting significant trade activity ahead of the deadline. In a three-team trade, they sent Erick Fedde and Tommy Pham to the St. Louis Cardinals and Michael Kopech to the Los Angeles Dodgers, receiving three prospects in return, including Miguel Vargas. Despite this trade, criticism surrounds general manager Chris Getz regarding the lack of value received, as the White Sox's ongoing struggles have left them with one of the lowest winning percentages in baseball history. Meanwhile, starter Garrett Crochet is expected to be traded, while center fielder Luis Robert Jr. is likely to remain with the team due to limited interest stemming from his injury history. The Sox's dismal performance raises questions about the future of several players, as contending teams eye potential acquisitions. As the deadline approaches, the team’s direction remains uncertain amidst a push to rebuild and recover from this dismal year.
