The Chicago White Sox are exploring upgrades to their starting rotation as the trade deadline approaches in 2026. A proposed trade would send prospects Shane Murphy and Duncan Davitt to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for left-handed pitcher Robbie Ray, who has a 3.39 ERA this season. Despite some concerns about Ray being a rental player, the trade could fill a critical need for the White Sox, who are striving for postseason contention.
