The Chicago White Sox have traded outfielder Eloy Jiménez to the Baltimore Orioles just before the MLB trade deadline. Jiménez, who has struggled with injuries and posted a .240 batting average in 65 games this season, is in the final year of a six-year, $43 million contract with club options for 2025 and 2026. The trade is seen as a salary dump for the White Sox, who received 26-year-old minor league pitcher Trey McGough in return. Jiménez, once a promising player who won a Silver Slugger in 2020, will join an Orioles lineup that leads MLB in home runs but lacks in batting average. The Orioles have been active in reshaping their roster for a playoff push, having made several trades in addition to acquiring Jiménez. The White Sox, meanwhile, have continued to dismantle their roster, trading several other players in recent days.
