The offseason is proving to be an intriguing time for the Chicago White Sox, especially with Chris Getz now at the helm of the team. Rumors are swirling about a potential roster overhaul, but it seems one player may be off-limits when it comes to potential trades.
According to a source, the White Sox are open to trading every player on their roster, except for center fielder Luis Robert. This news comes as the team aims to reduce its payroll and restructure the lineup for the upcoming season.
The decision to keep Robert is not surprising, given his standout performance in the previous season. He achieved career highs in home runs, RBIs, and stolen bases, and was recognized as an All-Star for the first time in his career. His impressive stats and four-year team control make him an invaluable asset for the White Sox.
On the other hand, pitcher Dylan Cease, while an essential part of the team, witnessed a decline in performance in the 2023 season. Despite a strong 2022, Cease struggled with a losing record and a higher ERA. Nevertheless, the team retains control over Cease until the conclusion of the 2025 season.
Additionally, the White Sox have secured several veteran players with multi-season contracts, including Yoan Moncada and Andrew Benintendi. Speculation suggests that other key players, such as Eloy Jimenez, could be up for potential trade discussions, with several rumors gaining traction.
