The Chicago White Sox have one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. Because of that, teams like to call them and try to trade for said pitcher, Chris Sale. So far, the White Sox have seemed hesitant on moving the southpaw.
Having an ace is crucial to succeeding in this game, yet the White Sox haven’t been able to win with Sale leading the way. Combine a very weak free agent market for starting pitching, with a relatively cheap contract, and now might be the perfect time for the White Sox to finally move Sale.
