The Chicago White Sox are exploring options to upgrade their outfield ahead of this summer's trade deadline, linked to outfielder Taylor Ward of the Baltimore Orioles, who has a.773 OPS. Despite Ward's potential value to the team, his limited control through 2026 may complicate a possible trade. The White Sox are aiming for long-term additions rather than rental players as they look to bolster their postseason chances.
