The Chicago White Sox traded for pitcher Luis Castillo from the Seattle Mariners on August 1. In exchange, the White Sox sent reliever Seranthony Dominguez, outfielder Nolan Jones, and catching prospect Boston Smith to Seattle. Castillo, a three-time All-Star, has struggled this season with a 5.06 ERA and is under contract through 2027. Chicago aimed to strengthen its starting rotation, which has been vulnerable after Sean Burke and Davis Martin. The White Sox may pursue further moves to enhance the pitching staff ahead of the postseason.
